charge second battery

Karl Townsend · 2010-12-16T10:37:15+00:00

I'm looking for a device and don't know what its called...We've got two batteries on a diesel salt water boat. Looking forsomething to charge the second battery only after the primary unit isfully charged. Right now, there is an isolator (which is just a couple large diodes)that appears broken from years of saltwater corrosion. We're lookingto replace this. The idea here is to run the starter off one batteryand make sure its charged before going to the user battery.Karl

If we have 20 knots of wind - no problem! (Don't need the motor then)

Don't mind Larry. He gets a charge out of this stuff.

I'm wondering now if we're about to get clued into "The Lesbian's Guide to the Secret Life of BIG Bakers"
