Does the solar charger on the bimini charge both batteries at the same time? If not, which one, my guess is house? Thanks in advance!

The owners manual simply says "The solar panels charge the battery to prevent it from becoming discharged."

In theory the solar panel will attempt to charge both batteries. Once the voltage increases on either the start or house battery to 13.4 volts the DVSR will close paralleling both batteries. The DVSR will stay closed until the voltage drops to 12.8 volts.

The solar panel is small and will provide limited charging capacity.

This is what I had hoped for, thanks for the confirmation.

On the DVSR, there is a small red indicator light that when illuminated indicates that it is closed.
