"I would like to hear some more about these 'eddy currents' though"
:) That was me, I think not understanding my battery book on the problems with parallel batteries. Barre says, "Also, if one battery has a higher voltage than the other, a small circulating current develops between the two parallel batteries...."
I got the idea somewhere that this happened even when they are floating together, but have been told on here that does not happen as such, so not an issue between different House and Engine batts being in parallel.
( I am familiar with the joke where the salesman sells a gizmo that prevents elephant attacks in your home. He says after looking around, "See? It works! No elephants here! )
So are you guys just making fun of me :) or are you saying Sterling and/or Battleborn are selling elephant attack prevention?
