On my 4788:
The starboard alternator charges the 840 AH house battery using a Balmar alternator
The port alternator charges both engine batteries.
The Xantrex inverter/charger charges the house bank
The Charles Industries battery charger charges the engine, and gen batteries. It can also charge the house bank through the flip of a breaker.
The goal is to provide get home redundancy, both in cranking current, and charging current.
Right now i have charging redundancy through the Xantrex and Charles Industries chargers.
To provide cranking and non generator based charge redundancy I'm considerng connecting each of the batteries together using on-off switches and 4/0 cable.
What are your opinions on this?
