Moving the 3rd battery will keep all house batteries at the same voltage,
But unless you replace the wire going to the inverter larger gauge wire going directly to the batteries, the inverter will still see voltage drop on fridge compressor start up
The battle born tech is referring to charging voltage at the battery
Yes if I relocated the fridge battery to be up front I figured I would have to change out that wire going back to the inverter. That seems pretty straight forward but the hot wire at the Fridge battery now goes back to the Gen so not sure what to do with that existing wire? Maybe just run it all the way up front to the same battery at its new location? So its essentially hooked up the same as now, just up front. Or could I connect that hot wire from Gen thats at the fridge now to the + side of the Inverter?
The harder question is them referring to having to remove the isolators and BIRD relay. That I am not comfortable doing myself if he means removing all 3 solenoids. The Sure Power isolator (pic above) I have now I thought was doing what he said could happen in terms of overtaxing the Alternator or draining the batteries when not turned on. I thought that isolator was preventing that already. I also have a main shutoff on the left of the battery bank you can see in the pictures on my original post.
