The 420ah is me.

A related question:

If my solar panels are supplying 15 amps to the house batteries at 14.6v and the alternator is supplying 5 amps at 13.4v, are the alternator amps really helping to charge the...

Thanks.

I do have a system that charges both the house and chassis batteries at the same time in my coach. I'm guessing (and it's truly a guess because I haven't tried to test my theory) that the...

Yeah, I was kinda anticipating problems when the alternator light on the dash lit and the solution was to turn off the panels. I can try a different profile like GEL which only goes to 14.2v on boost...

I'm using a Victron 712 to keep an eye on things.
