Has anyone found a better or higher amp solution to this issue?
Stone's Solar Converter, Equalizer is a good solution but its limited to 20 amps. This isn't enough to run a high power stereo or even a handful of house accessories.
According to Solar, it's OK to combine 12 and 24 V grounds with the Equalizer but the ground must be dedicated to each component with a step down Converter. They also said it isn't OK to run a 3rd battery in parallel with the low battery or to have a 3rd charged with either a Equalizer or a step down Converter.
Other than adding a 2nd 12 V alternator and 3rd 12 V house battery they had no solutions to draw more than 20 amps.
I have a 24 V HJ-61 and I would like to have a 3rd house battery to run accessories without ever drawing from the 24 V system except when the engine is running.
