I have three banks of batteries. But when the engine is on, only the house bank charges.
It’s been like this for a while and it’s been manageable but I’m looming to improve.
Below is a diagram I got from the original owner. It shows a diode with the alternator going to the third prong.
However in reality the alternator goes to the house bank prong. See photo.
I have a couple of questions.
What is this diode meant to do? Share the charge amongst all banks?
At some point the previous owner moved the alternator feed from the middle prong to the house bank prong. Can’t think why but presumably I need to move it back to the middle prong?
