I've done a bunch of googling but haven't found anything, I'm sorry if this has already been asked...
Can I run two charge controllers from my panels, one to charge my AGM batteries, and one to charge my starter battery?
I'm asking because I have an Espar aux heater that I plan to use during the winter here in Canada. I've read about re-routing the wiring for the Espar to the house batteries, but see that it takes 10+ hours to do, plus I think it's over my head. I'd rather spend $20 on a charge controller and set it to charge my starter battery during the day, hell, I'd pay $100 to avoid 10 hours of frustration.
Can I just get some Y connectors before my AGM charge controller and add in another charge controller?
I guess alternatively I could get an AGM starter battery and wire it in to my bank, but that'll be a bit more costly.
Thanks everyone.
