Same scenario, but combining rear genset starting battery which is a deep cycle. I chose a deep cycle because the genset is a Kohler without an associated battery charger, meaning I have to periodically recharge the genset battery which is used for both starting and powering the ignition.
Because it's a deep cycle, I don't want a continuous charging feed off the alternator. Ideally I would like something that allowed the voltage to go down to 11.5 or so then kick on and recharge, but I don't know of any such device nor do I want to have to remember to periodically switch on the genset charger.
So if I connect a combiner off the Power Converter can I allow it to recharge itself and then cut off the charge when it's fully charged? Or does it have such a high cut-in voltage that in essence it's being charged just like an alternator would?
