-Some standalone solar charge controllers like the [[https://amzn.to/2PPTD2L|Morningstar SunSaver Duo]] can, for example,  charge the start battery with 10% of solar harvest and the house battery with 90% using different charging profiles.  As with DC-DC above, it's not self-jumpstarting but can help prevent the dead starter battery.  +  Some standalone [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|solar charge controllers]] like the [[https://amzn.to/2PPTD2L|Morningstar SunSaver Duo]] can, for example,  charge the start battery with 10% of solar harvest and the house battery with 90% using different charging profiles.  As with DC-DC above, it's not self-jumpstarting in the normal sense but can help prevent the dead starter battery.
