    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    The above is partially true for systems that measure only voltage - newer systems made in the past decade also measure resistance, inductance, etc and don't rely solely on voltage unless you get something crappy. It will accept the 100A+50A as 150A until such time as it's full, or internal...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    The pulse is one of duration, not of high voltage - so no issues damaging anything. With multiple chargers - not true, all things being equal, it's additive. If you have 50A coming in from solar and 100A coming from your alternator you're going to be charging @ 150A..(again, all things being...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    I hope you're using a 24->12V converter and not just tapping into a single battery. That's not a leak, that's a hemorrhage. Those batteries are 100AH+, meaning you're pulling close to half (or more) of that, in 24 hours. Meaning you got a 2A+ draw. That's not insignificant. Either find out...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    The solarizer/pulsetech is not really a charger, but a desulfator. It doesn't put out enough juice to charge the battery. It sends high frequency pulses (PWM) to the battery to prevent sulfation. That's it. It is normally 'on' at all times, even when engine is running, so no issues. SLA...
