Question:
I currentnly only have one big, main starter battery. Is it possible to charge the starter battery using the MPTT solar capabilities of the unit? How would I go about wiring this, if its possible?

Expert Reply:
The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1225D is designed to charge an auxiliary battery using the starter battery in your vehicle. Most people use the setup to charge their trailer battery with the vehicle's battery and a solar panel. If that is what you are trying to do then this will work perfectly for you. I have attached a diagram for your reference.
If you are trying to charge your starter battery in the vehicle you would need a jumper starter like part # 329-GB70 but at this time we do not have a jumper starter that uses solar power.
