Title: Link 2000 Battery Selection - 1 or 2 or Both
Post by: jrmills76 on May 22, 2018, 03:51:36 pm
I just installed 3 new house batteries on my U320 and have studied my Link 2000 manual for set-up.  I've searched the forum for information on what the difference in the selection of "Battery 1 and 2" on the Link 2000 is and could not find any information. 

Are all three of my house batteries linked thru a common shunt and both battery 1 and 2 are the same thing?  Or does the selection of 1 or 2 matter for the overall setup of the system?

Any clarification would be appreciated.

You can go to their site and look at the installation instructions,not sure if that will help .

Contact the manufacture to confirm but I think they are saying battery (bank) 1 and battery (bank) 2.
I think because your three batteries are connected to together they  would be treated as one battery (bank) for setting up the charge settings.
I think the Link 1000 is for one battery bank.

My link 2000 reads bank 1and 2 the same. You can monitor 2 banks if you have a second bank hooked up to the link,  then you can choose which one to look at. However as far as changing goes you only have one charger. I did all my set up on bank 1 it doesn't matter how many batteries in the bank.

Your Link 2000 has the capability of monitoring two separate battery banks.  You only have one bank with 3 batteries linked together as designed.
