I was wondering, based on our 08 switch found here:

do you have the acr that goes with the kit?

the acr with charge both banks of batteries but seperates them so one battery is always charged

combine them and say play the stereo for a long time both drain

combine the batteries is just for starting or if one battery is dead

click visit my web site I bet you have this relay

[CrazyTegger]

click visit my web site I bet you have this relay

never seen it, but i would hope that it's factory installed...

if not would think about adding it

the acr and switch come in a kit from blue sea called add a battery

pm me if intersted in the acr tell you a source that is way cheaper for the acr

I'll keep that in mind. It's going to be several months yet until the bu can be dewinterized...

Edit... Looking at a photo, it looks like we may have something of the sorts...

you are good to go that is an acr under the switch

golden

just remember to kept the switch to the on positon this will charge both batteries and not in combined

lucky I had to add mine

What about an isolator? That is what I was told to install, to tie our starting battery and our deep cycle battery together. An isolator seem like a lot less items to install/worry about. No switching to one or both, no brainier on all the time and charging both batteries all the time. Good information or bad? I want to do what ever is the best to extend the batteries life and always have power on both. Edited March 10, 2009 by Monk

you can use an isolator but from what I have researched is isolator cause a voltage drop while charging so the batteries do not charge fully and the isolators heat up

the acr is automatic. it charges the first battery until 13.2 v or so and then switches to charge the second then disconnects the second when the source is gone ( boat off)

combining the batteries is just a fail safe to start the boat

blue sea acr seems to be top of the heap
