Dual Batt Charger: Will disconnecting one output damage it?
Hi, I have a Guest battery charger which has to outputs, 10A for house and 5A for starter batteries. I only need to charge the house batteries right now. If I permanently disconnect the leads going to the starter battery, will it damage the unit (similar to disconnecting the load from an alternator)? I don't want to blow any diodes in there.

Thanks,
Aaron

No, no damage.
I fact, you could Parallel the 2 outputs to increase the capacity of the (10A) House output, to 15A, if you wish.
