Do you mean while charging from shore power, or while charging via alternator? The general plan is to charge the house batteries (a large 4 x 8D bank) via solar and wind, and to charge the starter and the windlass via the alternator. In essence, two charging circuits to separate banks when I'm motor-sailing in the sunshine.
