Bald Faced Endorsement
I installed one of Ann-Marie's combiners about a year ago and ever since
then my main engine and my genset have never failed to start. The genset
particularly always spins vigorously and coughs into life immediately,
something it has often not done BC (before combiner).
The combiner has completely eliminated this thorn in my side. Remembering
to parallel the start and house batteries (and separate them when finished)
when charging either in the past was not a good technique.
Trust me; discovering that both house and start batteries are flat is a
sickening event.
I strongly believe that everyone that has two or more battery banks in
their vessel should connect them with one of Ann-Marie's combiners. You'll
be glad you did.
