Dual Isolator Battery Bank Pro Required

[POCO001]

Hi All,

Anyone who reads this first off thank you!... I appreciate any insight you can provide.

I am trying to implement a dual battery bank wired in parallel for the "house" along w/ an isolated single starting battery.

I have drawn a schematic which I am not sure is correct. I am unaware what lines require fuses & if so what rating.

Also you will see a switch which would provide emergancy combine to override ACR.

Heaps of appreciation to anyone who finds the time to assist.

Thx.

yep the boat is upside down or is that just the drawing.

looks good just doesnt sense that you have a a-b-dual switch that does nothing. if you have a battery fail the acr will open and protect the good battery/batteries having a bypass switch will remove the protection. another way to look at it is connecting a fully charged battery to a flat battery while trying to start a motor. use the switch for what it was designed for. if the starting battery is dead switch to b and allow the house batterys to start the boat only if all batteries are real low do you switch to dual in the hope that theres enoght ampage between all 3 to get the boat started. dual is a last option. keep it stupied simple and trust the equipment you install.
