Thanks, I missed the Affiliate Link and parts list. I just wasn't sure what the "non-isolated" meant?
I have most of the stuff and will order the rest when I get ready to do this.

@Maine Sail Or this one? It says "non-isolated". Not sure what that means
NON-ISOLATED means your batteries share a common ground. ISOLATED is for vessels whose battery banks have non-connected grounds. Except for certain conditions, boat battery banks share a common ground as all banks, regardless of chemistry, should have their negative terminals connected to the boat's grounding (earthing) point.

Isolated is typically used for RV trailers where there is no common ground. Non-Isolated is perfectly fine as all batts will typically share a common neg on boats.
