On my boat I have a perko switch hooked up to 3 batteries. I believe on switch #1, 2 batteries are dedicated to the stereo equipment (not really sure cause I bought the boat used last year) and switch #2 is hooked up to the starting battery. In between switch #1 and #2 there is the All switch. Last week I had a stereo dealer install some new tower speakers and while working on the install he said that my starting battery was dead, but the stereo batteries were not as he had the perko set to postition #1. Yesterdy I was messing around with the boat (spring cleaning) and wanted to hear the speakers (since I had yet to her them outside). I set the switch to #1 and the stereo turned on, but nothing came out of the speakers (in boat and tower). Next, I turned it to switch #2 thinking maybe I had it backwards and it basically turned nothing on at all. My last resort was to switch to the All position and finally stereo and speakers were working. If switch #1 is hooked to both batteries should everything turn on? Also, I'm not familiar battery chargers and am wondering if I can hook up a battery charger to one of the batteries and have the perko switch turned to the All postion? Will this charge all batteries? Basically I would like to get some suggestions on the type of battery charger I should purchase. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Moon
