Mainsail,
Just bought a new boat and my first project is to add a starting battery. I've done this on my previous boats, however this time I plan on using an echocharger. Once I parallel my 4D's, one of the legs from my battery charger (to the starting battery) will no longer be needed. My question is, am I better off removing this lead entirely, or can I simply add it to the house bank so both legs go to the same bank? The only reason I would do this is to avoid removing the extra leg and having an extra in the event I ever needed it. The charger is a Charles SP5000-30A. Thoughts?
p.s. apologies for the double post, but alas I haven't used this particular site in quite some time--
