My motorhome got a starter battery and a leisure batteri,
with a common negative. And for that reason a non-isolated DC DC charger would be my first choise.
How ever; I can not see any reason I should not use a isolated DC DC Charger.
Something I dont get?
Yes, if my two batteries was totally separated both in positiv and negative side,
I would not mix them two. For sure.
But for the typical motorhome i does not matter. Or?
Anyone?
Hi @JanJ,
no problem in using a isolated Orion Tr smart together with common negative. It's a 'must" with isolated grounds and a 'can' with common ground.
I have same question - I want to run just a single positive cable from my starter/vehicle battery back to two parrallel isolated orions which connect to my RV/leisure batteries - I would then just run a ground/negative form each of the isolated orions to a common ground stud. I assume I doneed to do any joining of the negatives inside the orions itself. (I purchased isolated orions but dont intend to use them that way.
Yes, that's no problem. Just make sure they all have the same ground.
