My bus has a water pump and a fridge. =========================> If you are going to use the relay method for dual battery charge it is probably better to have the two batteries of the same size and age.
It is not ABSOLUTELY critical to do this, but you do want to try and stay away from overcharging the "best" battery as the "lesser" battery attempts to come up to full charge. To that degree, keeping the paralleled batteries similar will result in a more "balanced" dual battery system. Bob Perring ......................................................
