Charging the Lifelines questions
As you all know, anything more than clipping the auto charger onto a battery is well above my pay grade, so I have some questions. For the regular charge before the conditioning charge, the Lifelin...

45-50a is the best my system can maintain. I suppose I can add a switch to each battery to be able to separate them if needed.

I can only speak for myself although I would imagine the feeling is shared. i really do appreciate having what I am ignorant about explained in terms I can almost understand.
I hooked up the full system to the 8-D sitting at 12.88v. Between the time I hooked up the array and got back to the controller it was already in absorb at just above 7a. I have no way of forcing the amps, so I put the Eco-w on the battery sitting at 13.01v and set it's float at 14.3v since it wont hold a absorb voltage. It is pushing a bit over 2a.
Once the absorb time is met, I will switch the Eco-W set up to the 8-D holding 13.1v and the MS and the first battery to equalize/ condition.
I'll check into the Mega watt. You can explain about the bridges when it gets here.
It sure was a lot easier with just a Eco-W and 230w panel on a Grp 27 FLA, then again so is a tent.
