I'm sorry for starting another charging thread!!
I have two batteries, house and starter and simple 1-2-both-off dial for selecting which battery to use.
My question is (and I realize this might depend on how the boat is wired) is if when the engine is running 'both' is selected, are both batteries being charged? Or is it generally dependent on how the alternator is wired to the batteries?
Other than the house battery in some way being charged by the engine, I see no way that is can ever be charged.....I realize I can get into solar and dual battery charging controllers, etc. but trying to find out what's what in my current set up.
Boat also house shore power, but I see no way batteries are charge whilst connected to this either....very strange.
Thanks!!
