littlebill, thanks for chiming in, I just learned ALOT about my charging relay in your post. And hope you can teach me some more.
"realistically you should never have a dead starter battery, that said if you do, i would recommend waiting a minute or so in override before attempting the start"
But how would I know I had a dead starter battery before I turned the key on and tried to start the engine.
Does the relay automatically/instantly send power from the house battery to the start battery if needed, or does it require a manual switching?
"in this case using the override switch will allow the relay to connect the banks and start the motor".
What position would I turn the over ride switch too? Does that "override" switching include pushing the button "down"?
In using the over ride switch, would I just let the batteries coexist for 15 minutes or so, then turn the switch off so to disconnect the two batteries before starting so I dont blow my 150 amp fuses? OR try and start the vehicle while they are both bonded together?
thanks
