I am about to reorganize the batteries on my Pearson 32. There are 2 85 Amp-hr wet cells that were connected to a 1-2-both-off battery switch.
I would like to connect them to the alternator using a combiner.

I have found a combiner whose price is attractive: a Yandina C100.

Does anyone have experience with this product? How does it compare with a Blue Sea Systems 7610 or 7600 or a Charles Marine BATTCOM-93 or ...?

How reliable are these devices? Do I have to install a parallel switch for safety (as in Don Casey's Sailboat Electrics Simplified, p. 120) or is this overkill?

I also have a dual-output AC charger (old, old model). If I have a battery combiner in the system, do I connect the AC charger to both batteries using the dual outputs, or do I let the battery combiner do this?

Any advice would be appreciated.
