Hi all,
I'd like to charge three 12V 18Ah battery packs from one 12V 100Ah fixed battery. The battery packs are meant to be used independently of the charge setup, and large variations in depth of discharge may occur, e.g. one fully discharged, another still 100% full. After use, they will be reconnected to the charge setup.
Would this setup work?: One Victron Orion Tr-smart 12/12 18A followed by three parallel Schotkky diodes to the three battery packs.
The disadvantage of the diodes is the voltage drop. Is there an alternative method to achieve parallel charging?
