Looking to find the product linked below in the US or a comparable product.
The cost will double with shipping to the US:crybaby:

Im looking to run both my batteries together with my solar but with the protection of automatic low voltage disconnect and the ability to reconnect when the solar brings the disconnected battery back up.
 
I thought that it had a Low Voltage Disconnect in addition to the the "voltage sensing relay" function. It doesn't.

Try these:

(It seems that Marinco bought BEP, not sure that's a good thing.)

Blue Seas has a couple offerings depending on max charge current-
65A:

120A:

Thanks for the suggestions!
The disconnect voltage is too high for my application. My thinking to use both battery until 12.0 then disconnect. Now I'm using only one of my batteries once the engine is off limiting my AH's in addition to working only one of the batteries hard while the other just sits waiting to start. During the summer Im OK but in the winter I heat my bed along with my fridge etc and requires more AH's then the one battery can supply. By using both batteries until 12.0 volts I can pick up the needed AH's.
 
I'm running the BlueSea 7622 ACR which works well for me. With it you can override and manually keep both batteries connected, I assume either to use them combined to start the engine or as I think you're trying to do, use them both down below the automatic isolation voltage. Then, when your solar panel starts pumping in the juice, assuming the ACR is still in "override" mode, it would (I imagine) charge both batteries simultaneously.

Or, could you use one of these big switches to completely bypass the battery isolator and combine your batteries manually (I'm using mine to isolate power to my winch)?
