2 chargers connected to one battery bank?
Has anyone used two chargers connected to one battery bank? I have four (4) six volt GC batteries with 464 amp hrs. at 12 volts. The onboard "dumb" one stage charger is a 55 amp. unit. I just ordered...

Hi McK,
I would simply put the new converter "in line" and as close to the battery bank as is possible. If the old wire is too small for the new higher amperage then run thicker wire from the converter to the bank--and use an appropriately sized automatic circuit breaker on on the wire going to the distribution panel.
I've completed the build of my charging system using RoyB's schmeatic but I have an issue that I think I have the answer to but want to run it by the forum.
I've blown the 125amp ANL fuse twice now, both times on battery power while raising the auto-levelers which I assume must use a lot of juice.
I believe the 20' run from the batteries to the 12 volt distribution panel using the stock 6ga wire is too long for the wire size. The converter can accept up to 2ga.
Just want to see if replacing the run with 2ga will fix my problem before I drop the coin.
