How do I now run the inverter side ?

Just like any normal one. My 2nd battery isn't connected to the inverter but I guess you can also use a change over switch on it.

Pls I really need to learn this connection

What exactly do you wish to learn. I shared some pics of my setup earlier on in the thread. It's simple really.

The dc cable from the cc goes into a dc breaker. The output dc cable from the dc breaker goes into the central connection of the Swiss knife change over. Finally each end of the change over has a dc cable connected to different batteries. So u just switch the change over from one battery to the 9ther depending on which you need to charge with the panels.

Hello Guys,

I have a question.

i want to add a second battery to my inverter set up in a way that I can switch between battery 1 and battery 2 at anytime. Both battery will use the same source for charging (same Solar and Grid) and I don't have a problem charging only one battery at a time.

I cant merge because both batteries are different sizes and manufacturers. And I don't want to use two inverters .

Is there a change over switch that can change the battery in use between battery 1 and battery 2, just like NEPA and Generator style?

Is this doable? how do i do this?

It is possible. Infact I currently use 2 of such similar setups. However ensure you switch off the breaker between the cc and the panels b4 making the switch using regular change over we use for typical switch BTW grid supply and power generator engine.
