[QUOTE="cairnspom, post: 250735, member: 4645"] Thanks Condor, yes, I think I understand now. In fact both batteries are brand new, but as you have stated that makes no difference. My plan now will be to put a 3 position isolator on the output side of the charger, off, battery 1, or battery 2 so they will never be paralleled. I dont expect the 80ah to ever really need charging from the redarc in normal usage, as it will only really be connected to a fridge in daytime, with solar charging as well (and the engel is only rated at 2.5 A) although it means it is available for other uses when not camping, and just using the ute. The 120ah will be charged from solar when camping (and genny/charger if necessary) so its only when moving camp or going home it will need charging from the redarc. Nigel [/QUOTE]
