DIODES are one way doors for electricity, this is how we will do this.

I assume you want to have 3 battery banks, 2 for the house, 1 for the motors.
The house batteries are already isolated from the engine up front with a diode, first thing to do is find it, splice the cable above the diode, and add another leg of wire and a diode.
IF the diode is inside a heatsink (large hunk of metal with fan blades), you may need to get another battery isolator (name for diodes with fan blade heatsink). The diodes or isolators will allow the power from the alternator to go back to the second bank of batteries, but the house can never affect the engine battery so you can always go home.

If the batteries are of different age, size or type, isolate them. When you set it up this way, you are also very flexible when it comes to buying more batteries. Separate the charging regimen for each bank with one piece of equipment. This 3 bank charger works great. http://www.bdbatteries.com/chargers.php?id=9

When we talk about the ships power system, each battery bank hooks to the input side with a diode to block power from the other battery bank. Call www.bdbatteries.com, or sail into Newport Harbor and have www.coastalbatteries.com help you out.

How long does it take to charge a RC boat battery?

The charging time for an RC boat battery typically depends on the type of battery and its capacity. For example, a NiMH battery may take about 1-3 hours to fully charge, while a LiPo battery might take around 1-2 hours. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and use the appropriate charger to ensure safe and efficient charging. Always monitor the charging process to prevent overheating or damage.

How do you replace the battery in a 98 olds intrigue?

Buy it at Walmart, Autozone, Pep Boys, or any number of places and they will install it for you. If you have a new battery you walked out with, perform the following in a well-ventilated area (avoid hydrogen gas buildup, which may cause the battery to explode (not fun)):1. Disconnect the terminals and push aside.2. Loosen the battery clamp in the base of the battery tray.3. Remove the old battery, install the new.4. Reattach the terminals, negative first. Be careful to avoid welding your wrench to some part of the vehicle.


Where can you get a battery bank?

A battery bank is a group of batteries, wired together, to get the voltage and amp hour reserve power required for the installation. There are 2 types of circuits used to wire up these batteries, parallel circuits and series circuits, used to build the battery bank. For our example we will use 12v 33ah batteries :) to make the math easy.Simply multiple batteries can be wired together to add either amperage or voltage. You can't add both at the same time.A Series connection adds voltage, not amp hour rating. To group batteries in a series connection, hook them up in a line, positive of battery a to negative of battery b, like so...to load to loadWith 3 batteries at 12v 33ah, hooked up in series, your battery bank would have the following characteristics.36 volts at 33 ampere hours.A parallel connection of the same three batteries would increase the ampere hours, not the voltage. This is how you increase the run time of a system and would look like this.To Load To LoadThis battery bank would net 12 volts at 36 ampere hours.If you want a 36 volt install, at 100 ah, it would require 3 strings of 3 batteries to make the 36 volts. Then those strings would be wired together parallel to increase the ah.Remember to account for wire voltage drops when you raise the amps up. This is a bunch of physics and math that determines heat and drag. To do things the easy way, use the wire calculator on the bottom of this page.http://www.bdbatteries.com/wire.phpRemember to buy high quality batteries as they have low internal resisitance. High internal resistance creates heat, wastes power, and will negatively affect larger battery bank efficiency. UL puts their mark on these quality batteries.http://www.bdbatteries.com/ul.php
