Hi all, I was reading our Sunlight's manual at the weekend, well lock down, it's sort of like getting some use out of the bus.
It said that when on EHU the priority charging is given to the hab batteries, and a float charge is fed across to the starter battery once the hab battery has sufficient charge. Am I safe to assume that the reverse is the case and when the motor is running , the alternator electric prioritises the starter battery and when that's charged sends a float to the hab batteries ?
Secondly, as the two batteries are linked, will plugging a portable solar panel into the hab batteries initially prioritise the hab batteries and, only when their full overflow across to the starter battery?
Or !!,would it be better to attach a dedicated second fly lead [ fused] to the starter battery, and just plug the panel straight into that when required ?
Many thanks in advance.
Mike.
