Second battery bank

[Brian]

I am thinking of adding a second battery bank to my H380. I currently have to 6V golf cart batteries in series which gives me about 200ah, but when the wife and friends are using the inverter (ok ok, I use the inverter to make coffee also) along with the normal DC items, it doesn't take long to run the batteries down. I am curious where other H380 owners have placed the second house bank and how they set up the wiring.ok, ok, I drank some of the margaritas they made with the blender also! ThanksBrian C.s/v CREW REST

Just add aH to current bank

Slap a couple more of those golf-cart batteries into the same house bank. There's really no benefit to having a second, separate house bank, but there are certainly disadvantages. If you currently have about 280 aH (I'm guessing 80 aH for your starting battery) and you're going to add 200 more, you might want to reevaluate your charging capacity.
