The mains battery charger also has dual outputs and 'smart charges' with priority to starter battery. Presumably then, both with 'play nicely' with each other;-)
Sorry guys but one more question if I may... Does anyone have any recommendations for a DUAL charge regulator for the 100-120watt range? The one recommended or suggested by the panel maker has a design I REALLY don't want... The front cover of the regulator only has a sticky label with all the writing on, instead of being printed or cast into the plastic. Had one before and not only do they fade from UV light, but also start to peel at the edges after a short time in the marine environment. Like this one: http://www.sunstore.co.uk/EP-Solar-Duo-Battery-Solar-Charge-Controller-12-24v-10A.html
wouldn't you mount the regulator in some protected position below decks where it will not be exposed to UV or the "marine environment". It should be close to the batteries as it senses ambient temperature as one of its controlling functions unless you also fit a remote temperature sensor
