Hi all...
I wanted to add a few batteries and a small inverter and have a few questions - any advice would be helpful.
I was hoping to add 2 more house batteries to take care of my overnight needs and 2 more house to take care of my stereo needs (2 amps).
Questions -
1 - I have a small inverter (1000watt) so I can run my laptop - what bank should i add it to - and how...
2 - should i use an isolator for the 5 house batteries (3 house 2 stereo)
3 how to handle the charging of these batteries - have 3 bank charger and a 2 bank (at home) and the inverter is also a charger ....

again, thanks for any advice...

uh ho here we go. There a few good threads on this with lots of help from me asking awhile back. Ill see if I can pull up the right one for you. From my studies and understanding you souldnt need alot of batteries for what you are asking, I am using a much larger inverter and a few other compentents though. Im doing a complete rewire now, even with skilled help from a friend in person (not on the forum) its confusing to me.
