[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3568108, member: 24531"] And No, I can't afford a new 24v system right now, but having a second battery would be nice anyway w/ just the 12v system. [B][U]Current setup[/U][/B] 12v TM w/ 1 battery that is connected to 1 bank on a 2-bank charger, so we have to treat this like a 1-bank charger for my question since the other charge bank is being used by the starting battery. [U][B]Desired setup[/B][/U] Second TM battery added to be able to switch over to if Batt #1 gets too low. I plan to buy a battery switch so I can easily switch power between Batt #1 & Batt #2 when necessary. [B][U]The unknown[/U][/B] How can I charge 2 batteries off a single bank of a charger? The second bank is already in-use for the starting battery and I do not want to buy a 3-bank charger right now since this 2-bank is basically brand new. [U][B]The plan?[/B][/U] Wire the single TM bank from the onboard charger to the new battery switch itself (instead of directly to a single battery), so when I switch the battery switch, not only will that control which battery powers the TM, it will also determine which battery will receive a charge at any given time from the TM bank on the battery charger. IS THERE A WAY TO DO THIS? [/QUOTE]
