Onboard charger

[sebabmw]

Hi there need some help , currently have a 2 bank charger which I am upgrading to a 3 bank to have ability to charge the main, I don't want to run the leads all the way back to the main, I assume I can run that lead to the fuse block? If so where on the block do I run these too? I know that prior to going to a 24v setup the shop setup the old charger that way, any info would be appreciated.

If you have a battery switch, you won't be able to do that.

No battery switch, just not sure where the leads would go

You can wire it up to the feed point to the fuse panel. If you aren't sure where to wire it, post a picture of your fuse panel and we can show you where to attach it.

I would always suggest having a battery turn off switch. That way, you can quickly disconnect your battery in an emergency or turn it off when you aren't using your boat to prevent the battery from discharging.
