My charger finally crapped out on the boat, and I've bought a Promariner ProSport 20 to replace it. As I was reading through the install instructions, I kept reading "Important: The pair of Red and Yellow wires in one cable jacket MUST GO TO THE SAME 12VDC Battery".
My setup is a standard 12V battery for the starting bank, and a pair of 6V Trojan T-105s connected in Series, so that I get 12V.
Despite the warning on the install instructions, can I use one wire to go to the starting bank and another to go to the house bank? They are all at 12V after all, but the repeated use of the warning about separate batteries in the instructions had me worried...
Thanks,
Kevin
