Kevin: Yup, a relay would work for sure. I try to minimize the number of relays that I have in my truck, simply because they're just another electrical gadget to go wrong. But if you have a high quality 24v relay, why not?

Beauh: Running a CD player and an alarm system from the Solar Converter in Convert mode is no problem at all. The two devices won't be on at the same time anyway. If you go Load Balance, just remember that if you leave your truck parked for a long period of time, and there is even a slight imbalance in your batteries, that you will probably come back to a couple of drawn fown batteries that won't start your truck.

Canuck: Load balancing won't be needed for light loads like the ones that you require. It's the simplest and most reliable way of getting 12v power from your Solar Converter.
