Switching\combining the two alternators - 2011

 I had asked Beta Marine support if the switch we just bought that acts as jumper cables would hurt the two alternator setup.
February 2011  - Currently At Marina Cortez Harbor IslandSan Diego, CA

 They said no it would not here is the post.
 They also sent us a drawing (off the ADVERC site) of the setup for the controller.

"Yes, you can use your switch to combine the battery banks. It will not hurt the alternators but it will not allow the alternators to work to their potential.

Isolating the alternator outputs would allow you to get the best charging efficiency.

A drawing of an 
ADVERC installation for two alternators is attached. This design charges both batteries from both alternators. You could add a battery selector switch to this installation with out a problem."
