I am toying with the idea of adding an onboard charger. I think this would be straight forward (Probably still is) if not for the Blue Sea Add a Battery system that I have. I am trying to figure out the best way to wire it. I understand that similar questions have been asked but nothing that I searched included the add a battery. Which option would work best. Please keep in mind that the leads coming off the onboard charger will not reach my house batteries. The charger, add a battery, and starting battery are under the passenger storage compartment, while the "house" batteries are in the rear lockers run with 0 gauge wire.

Thanks in advance
Current Setup

Option 1 (I understand the switch will need to be on for it to charge)
Upload
Option 2 (Again due to distance of batteries from charger)
Upload
Option 3

I am not completely set on this charger, just used it as a reference tool.

I have the same setup and use a promariner prosport single bank charger wired like option 3.

Our onboard charger was the best money we've spent yet..... After $800.00 worth of blue topps we had to replace......

I've got battery tenders. They make different amp chargers for different applications.

I think Dual Pro is hands down better than Pro Marine or Guest.

Dual Pro's are used in Bass Boats with 36v trolling motors that run down 3 batteries in a day and they have to ready to go the next morning.

Bass boats, LOL thats funny

look at the 300K fishing boats, they use pro-marine or guest only and are NMMA approved and ABYC also

Actually the majority of high end fishing boat will use a Xantrex charger/inverter in association with Shorepower at dock. That is pretty common knowledge among those who run is the Bertram and Hatteras circles.

No offense, but I don't consider a $300,000 fishing boat to be the "high end" of fishing boats.

Even the Fountain 38 with trips which is in the $300k ball park uses Dual Pro. It is listed on Fountain's website.

btw...Xantrex has those silly little accreditations you mentioned earlier and it is 10x the piece of equipment than promarine or guest will ever produce.
