Q
601 6/1/2002 10:30:28 AM 6/3/2002 Art Knapp agkcpa1@hotmail.com battery charger Regarding the merge switch on the dash - does it make any difference whether the switch is merged in the up or down position?
Also, if you wire a new inverter (Heart 458 series) with 3-stage battery charging to the merge solenoid, will the 3-stage charging be effective on both battery banks when in the merge position?
If not, how and where would you connect the battery banks with a battery combiner (such as Pathmaker) or a Heart Digital echo-charge? The objective would be to use 3-stage charging on both banks, but still keep them isolated unless needed for emergency starting.
