Can you use one switch for two RV batteries or do you need to get a separate switch for each battery?

You can use it for two batteries but I am not sure that it is heavy enough to handle the current of the RV batteries. Check camping world and see the amperage rating of what they sell.

I guess it depends on what you mean by two batteries. If you are combining two 12V batteries, then this switch on the main Positive line should suffice to cutoff both batteries. If you have two batteries that you use individually, then you'd probably need something else. There are several dual battery disconnect switches available on Amazon in the $20-40 price range.

I have 2 of these disconnects on my motor home. One is for the 2 chassis batteries and one is for the 4 house batteries. It is all in how they are wired.

Depends on how it's wired. I used it for two 6 volt deep cycles wired for 12 volts in my camper. The disconnect went between the positive lead of the last battery and the fuse block for my power distribution.

The RV2000 is for two 6 volt batteries. They also make one for single 6 volt and single 12 volt and two 12 volt batteries. You also need the RV2020 hand pump for this system.

yes, I currently have four running on one switch. Check the mfg. website for specific limitations.

The answer is simple enough, just unplug the electric source, and if there are batteries installed (and still usable) it will switch right over to them by themselves. This is much the way many radios work these days, so if power goes out it can switch to batteries without any fumbling in the dark for a power selection switch.

Probably not the best idea. You could run the 12v unit off the connectors on one battery but that imbalance could shorten the life of the two batteries since they won't automatically balance. Best options - get a separate 12 volt battery for the inverter, or the company makes a 24 volt inverter. I've been very happt so far with the 12 volt model. It powers the coffee brewer and microwave oven in my RV just fine. Jim

I'm not an electrian but we have multiple lights running in one line and we use one switch. I don't know if this is what you meaned. For safety purposes it's best that you get the advice of an electrician.

You get away with one if you get another magnetic switch and series them together. Most any electronic store or alarm store will have what you need. Go to Garagebutler.com and ask them. They probably will sell you what you need and tell you how to do it. Fellow named Frank was really help with a question I hhad.

No. A battery isolater is technically different and includes electronics internally to isolate the batteries. This is nothing more than a switch and is actually PREFERRED over isolaters. You will also need proper battery cables to wire up a dual battery system.

Hello Sharon, It depends on how you plan on connecting them. Technically you can parallel the two together and use a single charge controller but this can become cumbersome with the wiring. You can also use the two kits independently to charge different batteries or the same bank. If charging the same bank it is best if you put the second kit on the opposite battery posts of the first one.Please contact us for any further inquiries - customerservice@carmanah.comGo Power! Team

The unit is not designed to be broken into 2 deferent components. You would need 2 switches.

The unit I have has 2 banks of switches near the battery. each bank has 4 dip switches. Make sure that you set these switches to the same code as the wall unit. I am very satisfied with the remote.

You could have them both connected to the same battery. Each has its own controller.I do not know if you can wire them for any configuration other than 12v....

No, you will need an external switch to do that. Also you need to make sure it bypasses your charging system, so that you are not trying to charge your batteries from the inverter.

you just need to replace one but need to modify the second (conventional) switch. see my video diy for reference. I hope this helps

While daisy chained the answer is no, you would need a second battery minder. If the are not connected to the camper, you may use one battery minder as long as both the positives and negatives of the batteries are tied together with the battery minde'rs positive and negative leads are connected consistent with the battery polarity.

you can run these straight to positive and negative to battery or you can use switch. thanks.

Depends if you connect the controller to the panel then you could connect it to each battery but not both at the same time.
