Alternator has been main charge source.
Plugged in overnight 362+ days a year.
No solar... yet.
Batteries all matched. 2 banks of 2 matched batteries... each bank replaced at the same time.
Guess charger is designed for 3 separate banks.
Previously they were isolated 100% of the time by the Vanier Diode isolator. Now the ACR parallels them when the sustained voltage remains over 12.85 V.
Batteries are within 5' of each other... when parked they'll be the same temperature. Running, the starting battery under the hood will be warmer.
