Re: Batteries on F30

After starting you need to see that both banks are getting charged. This may be as simple as switching to "both" while the engine is running and going back to "house" when sailing or at anchor. Using this procedure assumes that the battery types (AGM, GEL or conventional) are the same since each typ...
