Reviving an old thread ..yeah it's been 2 years since I started this thread..not real long.
Ok, I did some rearranging of my batteries after I almost lost them to a faulty NOCO genius smart charger .
I relocated them so I can better service them .
Remember a few weeks ago I was trying to come up with a better charging system.
Well I decided to charge and maintain them as 4 separate banks with 4 separate smart chargers.
Not putting all my eggs in one basket.
I can tie them together as 1 bank , if I want to , in about 5 minutes.
I finally decided on a charger for my need . 3amp output 6v or 12v.
Maintains a good float voltage after full, and monitors .
I went thru several different ones, (determined not to use NOCO again), returned a few I didn't like.
I found that I really liked the operation of this one the best.
But I had to buy 6 of them to get 4 that operated properly or at all. ( Yes I returned bad for refunds)
I knew that they were hit and miss from previous research I finally got 4 good ones and am now a happy prepper.
Here's a pic of the new battery arrangement and the chargers.
4 banks of 2 , 6v 232 AH .
The inverters also.
750w, 2500w in middle, 2000w .
I can connect any one of the inverters to the house breaker box with one connector.
I can charge all the batteries with solar panels with one connector.
