Solenoid between the chassis batteries and the generator battery

[Howard O. Truitt]

Ralph,
Am I understanding correctly that the Aux. Switch when depressed sends current
from the engine batteries directly to the generator starter. Depressing the
Aux. Switch will not send current from the Generator battery to the Engine
batteries.

Greg:

The idea of the battery tie switch, is pulling in the solenoids to bypass
the charging path momentarily. This protects the diode or battery isolator
from higher than rated amperage as well a passing full amperage one way or
the other.
