hi everyone.
so I bought my first real boat about a month ago and it has two 12volt batteries that are wired parallel.The battery system has the 1,2,or 1+2 switch.
I understand that under power whichever battery the switch is thrown to is the battery being charged including both batteries if 1+2 "both" is selected at the switch.
How do I manually charge this dual battery system at shore??
(i believe i have the wiring for an isolator but it is not hooked up.
do i connect the charger to a single battery and throw the switch to both??
Where should the battery switch be when i am cranking the engine, running on the river, and just running house lights and electronics?????
thanks everyone.....
