[RE-wrenches] Charging multiple battery banks from one array

[Dave Tedeyan]

Hi All,
I am adding solar to a boat, which is new for me. There are three
batteries: one for each of two engines (both of which can also power DC
loads), and a house battery connected to an inverter for AC loads on the
boat. All three batteries are able to get charged from the two engine
alternators through a Sure Power Multi Battery Isolator. We are going to
have 4 320w panels and two FM60 charge controllers. It is a 12V system.

I would like to be able to use the solar to charge all three batteries. Is
it reasonable to use something like another one of those Multi Battery
Isolators to allow all the solar to independently charge each battery? Is
there another product out there that people would recommend for this?

Thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Dave
