In this video I explain how we integrate multiple charging sources on our sailboat Sea Rose in order to efficiently charge our three battery banks. I walk through in detail the process of charging from an engine alternator, solar array and shore power charger using devices such as a Balmar ARS5 regulator, Balmar Digital Duo Charger, Victron BlueSolar controllers, and the Victron BMV. I show how these devices are mounted and wired, and how to properly wire all of the supply and load sources on your boat into and out of the battery safety switches.
Also, be sure watch Part 2 of this series, which walks through the process of monitoring and managing these charge sources and the state of the battery banks.
