Would the xantrex TC10 be too small a charger?

10A is plenty. Make sure the charger completely shuts off when it gets
charged at 14.2V and doesn't come back on until batteries drop below 13.5V
or so. It'll stop converting your water into hydrogen.....UNLESS THERE'S A
BAD CELL.

Lionheart has a dual 10A Guest. One side charges the 660AH house battery
banks all in parallel. The other side charges the little diesel starting
battery. It's fine and rarely needs watering. Of course, if you dock it
with the house batteries mostly discharged, it'll take it a few days to
recharge, which is GREAT! The slower you recharge, the BETTER!


You only have a 10A charger for a 660AH bank Larry!? If you draw the
bank down to 50% that's 33 hours of rechargingtime at least.

Does you inverter have a high output charge side to it or something? I
assume you have a large capacity alt..
