I thought you wanted a faster charge. It won't be faster if you don't have a diode isolator now. Everything else you listed is fluff.
Will this gadget even work on vehicles? The link just mentions boats. How does your alternator get regulated? Will regulation get muffed up when all the current goes to the house battery?

I probably do have a solenoid and not a diode isolator. I'm admitting I don't care what I have I believe I can get more power to my house batts from my 'gadget' thingy that I ordered from the 'clueless' boat industry (slight sarcasm since the yacht industry is unfortunately LIGHT YEARS ahead of most of the RV industry, albeit not in solar.)
...look at it this way I am a guinea pig on transferring some boat "wizardry" over to an RV, I have a little faith and unless you can use some cool equations about electron flow to prove me wrong please let me dream.
In all actuality all this "gadget" is, is an autonomous switch (the one that says 1,2,both,off) (fyi don't use off while your engine is on as they say it's bad for your alternator). Except instead of me being a dummy and forgetting to switch to the correct batt bank, I am paying a company a little money to make my life easier.
