[QUOTE="cairnspom, post: 250378, member: 4645"] I am putting together a 3 battery system and I have come across what maybe a problem. The system is a redarc 1225lv charger, an 80 ah battery under the bonnet, and a 120ah removable 'battery in a box'. The removable battery is for running the campsite,( fridge, freezer maybe, lights,battery charging) and will have a 150 w solar panel array to recharge during the day, topped up with a genny/smart charger if necessary. The 80ah stays in the ute to run a fridge when away from the camp detecting, charged by the redarc, and a solar panel when stopped, probably 80/100w. When leaving home, both batteries will be fully charged, and whilst camping will be seperate as above. When I leave for home, or move to another site the idea is they both connect to the redarc, but I am concerned that, as they are different sizes, and at that point likely different states of discharge, may I be risking over charging one or the other? Is there some form of 'over charge protection' I may fit to each battery to prevent this? Thanks [/QUOTE]
