Dual Bank vs One Bank SWs/Ripple [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater]

Hey All,

I have a customer where we are doing an add PV upgrade to a 
battery/inverter/generator-only system.

Presently he has two 5548's  with each inverter fed from a separate 
battery bank.

I'm planning to combine the banks so I need only one charge control, 
one shunt and one KWhr meter.

Other than than having to set the SWs to work together per previous 
threads on this list - my concern is that I not downgrade by 
introducing the ripple problem.  I've heard that ripple can really 
shorten battery life considerably. He charges with a 10KW diesel so 
charging with just one SW doesn't really make sense.   Other Wrenches 
experience on this?

Thanks,

Jeff
