Re: 2000 carver 356 aft cabin batteries
The best way to know how and to what your charger is hooked to is either visually follow the charger leads to the terminations being the batteries or the battery switch. You can also use a volt meter for this. Who knows if a previous owner or even the factory did them consistently for boat to boat. If the charger is multi bank then you could either verify or wire it so the battery switch could be off and still charge the batteries if that's what you want to do. My charger is to the batteries directly I don't turn my switches off and never use the battery switch unless I need to combine my batteries for emergency start. But I have been all through my system so I know what's being charged and by what.

Re: 2000 carver 356 aft cabin batteries
Assumption, will verify, while OFF position both batteries will still be charged and that bilge pumps are direct hooked to battery so they will run regardless of the off switch.
Concept is easy, but with you guys saying the manufacturer or previous owner may have screwed around with wiring makes me nervous

Re: 2000 carver 356 aft cabin batteries
2nd question, when I got to the boat I noticed the power bank 1 was off, maybe shore power went out briefly and tripped it off. And it stayed off. The refigirator was off because of that, not sure how much batteries were drained, I always kept the switch on BOTH. So I switched the power back on, and noticed the fan noise in the charger. It was indicating on the meter on top of charger about 30amps. I had not noticed the fan noise before. So I shutof battery charger from panel and fan noise stopped. I then turned it back on, and I did not see the needle move from 0 and no fan noise. Not sure by coincidence battery was already charged or now I have an issue with charger? Does anyone know if the charger needle stays on zero when batteries ar charged. Is this a smart charger, than it know when to turn on and off? The image is when it was charging. Later the gauge on charger was reading 0.
