I picked up my new rig last week. 36 Volt TM and a cranking battery with a 4 bank charger on board. When I picked it up, they did not have the cranking battery hooked up to the on board charger. I told them I wanted it hooked up and they said that they dont recommend hooking the cranking battery up to the on board charger.

I have never heard this before...anyone have any input on this?

Thanks guys!

ditto!

I trust they gave you the owner's manual for the OBC, just follow the installation instructions.

Have fun!

I purposely got a 3-bank charger so I *could* hook up my cranking battery.

correct, they have no idea what they are telling you.. Hook it up to your cranking battery. That's what its there for. I have had mine like this for years. Never an issue on any of my boat batteries.
