Larger Amp Alternator
Re: Larger Amp Alternator
I see. But isn't AGM will be fine inside the coach, and does not have as strict requirement compare to flooded cells? Can you add two more 6V in parallel inside the living quarter, if you want to not having to run the genset for that long, and have more capacity? Glad to hear that you can work around the current setup.

Never thought of this actually, if I have the room could be very good option - thanks.chin_k wrote: ↑December 17th, 2020, 9:09 am I see.

Re: Larger Amp Alternator
Note that if all the batteries aren't right next to each other, there will be different voltage losses due to wire lengths being different to the various chargers and devices, and the batteries will wear differently. Use the very largest wires you can between the 2 battery banks to minimize that problem (e.g. 2/0 or even better 4/0).
