HOW TO: This video shows and documents how I have installed dual / parallel Victron Orion 30amp battery to battery / B2B / DCDC chargers into my van.

My purpose for installing two charges was not because I needed it but because I wanted faster charging. The alternator I have in my vehicle is 220A which would support the auxiliary load draw on this size.
Due to the location of the starter battery and the leisure system in my van the cables had to be run full length on the van and I use oversized 50mm² cable because I had it spare. I use a mega fuseholders to split the cable into 16mm squared cable and fuses per charger. 16 mm² in this application is oversized but it was what I had spare off.
I have attempted to keep the cable length between both of the charges the exact same to each unit reads the same voltage. Additionally I installed a switch on the dashboard which allows me to turn both of the charges off or run one or both charges are using the remote pins on each Orion unit. Most likely during the summer I will have the second charger off. Whilst I am using a switch to turn the unit on and off. the automatic engine detection is still what allows the unit to charge or not.
On top of that during the video you will see my active cooling solution which will be revealed in another video but I have increased my real-world performance by 25% using this and achieve a higher than 30amp output from both units continually
