Hello all,
I have two AGM group 27's, one being a house battery and the other is my starting battery. Also have an Blue Sea's ACR combiner mounted. Now when it come time to charge these batteries on AC battery charger what is proper placement of the charging clips/clamps on respective batteries?
Thanks all in Advance,
Kenichi

Alrighty Glen E thanks a bunch, I'll hook up leads on one battery and get em charged. I have been told once the main battery-starting is up to snuff the ACR allows current to the house battery for topping off?

It sounds like you're not sure what an ACR does - read away:

I have this set up and do it all the time. Once the charge voltage across the first battery reaches the ACR cut-in voltage, the ACR will close (after about a 1 minute delay) and both batteries will be charged.
