Anyone have any experience/ comments/ problems with the Blue Sea BatteryLink
ACR unit? www.bluesea.com Seems to be a good device to allow linking
up/charging of 2 batteries. But I am having trouble figuring out how it
could be included into the schematic utilizing the separate battery
contactors- I am thinking it might simply replace the cross feed contactor?
Anyone using one?

I have installed them in boats for other people. Basically it
replaces your cross-feed contactor and parallels your batteries when
the bus voltage is above 13.5V indicating that the alternator is on-
line. Once the voltage drops to about 13V it drops out and separates
the batteries.
On a boat it is supposed to allow the charging of the engine-starting
battery and the house battery at the same time but isolating the
engine-starting battery once you are running on battery power to
prevent house loads from running the start battery down and
preventing you from starting your engine.
I prefer the AmplePower battery isolator eliminator. It is a DC/DC
converter that is designed to charge the start battery from the house
bank using a three-phase temperature-compensated charging regimen. It
keeps the start battery on a proper float charge to ensure it is
fully charged. The only problem is that it is limited to 5A draw but
that is not a limitation when just charging the start battery.
Of course, this is for a boat electrical system where it is normal to
run from battery power.
