[QUOTE="Jay415, post: 227067, member: 6905"] I was gonna hang an sae connector dongle (also fused) out of the battery cases so it's just plug and charge. Dongles like these. https://amzn.com/B000NCOKZQ Now maybe you can answer this question which is my original need. The power center is designed to be hooked up directly to a TM hence the 60 amp breaker. Now with 2 batteries and the switch set to all, that is the same as 2 batteries wired in parallel. Now with 2 power centers in parallel each has their own 60 amp breaker. How would they react in a parallel wiring scheme. Would it take 120 amps of draw to trip both breakers being that it's pulling power from both batteries? Or would both 60 amp breakers trip at say 61 amps. I was just concern that more than 60amps would be able to flow down the line since power was being pulled from 2 batteries in parallel each with their own 60 amp breaker. It just sounds like each battery could supply 50amps down the line providing a total of 100amps and the breakers wouldn't trip. I'm just trying to understand that part of it. I hope I am explaining right. [/QUOTE]
