[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 414117, member: 4251"] Unless you want an onboard charger, WM has some Schumacher chargers for fairly cheap compared to the onboard chargers which are high $$. Get one in the 6-10 amp range and it will charge both batteries w/o issue. I would charge the U1 battery 1st as it will take the least amount of time after a trip, then hook up the TM battery and let it charger overnight, will be good to go the next day. Find a charger that will "maintain" the batteries after charging, or a "smart" one that will help charge the batteries correctly, and then charge them up as needed as long as they are hooked up to the charger. If you still put a 30 amp fuse on the + wire that feeds the smaller fuse box, and you don't put individual fuses of the correct size/amp in for each item, you could damage/burn the FF/bilge pumps. I've got a similar set up but use a grp 24 to power my FF's, with the grp 24 wired straight to the fuse box, then 3amp fuses in the appropriate slot for each FF connected. [/QUOTE]
