PD 9100 AL converter/charger.
I purchased the new two stage PD charger for two new Lion Energy UT 1300 lithium batteries. I also bought a Renogy DC to DC converter to protect the chassis battery. I have read that the PD can be i...

Thanks so much. No wires from the pd9100 to the DC panel just uses the same wires from the battery. These are small gauge but I guess not much power is needed at the dc panel.
If the batteries were ever removed the circuit would have to be closed between the positive and negative battery wires.
I had plenty of #2 wire but it does not fit in the pd9100. I guess they call for #4 so even better that the charger is closer to the batteries.
I’m still a bit confused by the wiring from the batteries to the panel. I think I have figured out the two disconnect switches though. One triggers when the starter is on and charges the batteries from the chassis. (solenoid) The other sends a start voltage to the generator if the starter is off it comes from the batteries if on from the chassis.
I was thinking one way street so knowing the wires are two way makes a big difference.
