If I have a house battery and starter battery can I use 1 monitor for BOTH batteries?
I don't believe you can, or would want to do that, since both batteries might have different voltages, etc. If you are using an ACR, it might be enough to put this on your house battery, assuming that the starter battery should have the same voltage or higher.
