I am looking to under take my first big wiring project on my boat and could really use some feedback on the setup in the attached diagram.
1. Can I have two house batteries like in the diagram? Basically, will the ACR's then treat the two house batteries as one big battery? I’m concerned about them being properly charged. To my understanding the starting batteries will just get topped off quickly, and the alternators (two 55amp alternators) or two bank on board charger will then charge the house batteries. Is this correct?
2. In the drawing I put in the fuses - Are these the correct size fuses? 100A on each side of the ACR Positives, and then 15A on the negatives?
3. Is it correct to tie all the Negative terminals on the batteries together? (Two starting + Two house batteries).
4. I was planning on using all 2/0 cable between the acr's, even if this is a little bit overkill, there is no downside to using too heavy of wire if everything is fused correctly, right?
I appreciate any and all feedback! This will be my first major wiring project so I just want to make sure I have this all drawn out correctly before I start
