Title: Split charge relay
Post by: petski2 on August 16, 2012, 11:19:57 pm: Hi all,I know a lot of you guys use a split charge relay but which do you recommend?
I bought a cheap n nasty one last year with instructions in japanese lol and needless to say it never worked :( :( :(
Where do you guys get them from and do you fit them yourselves or get an electrician or mechanic to fit them ???

Thanks in advance

Pete

From ebay - same seller does a kit too, with the wires, terminals etc

As above - easy to fit - one wire from battery to back of van, rest of the connections are in the back of the van.

Some split chargers you have to tap into an alternator connection - hassle!

Two heavy duty cables from main battery, earth to van, job done, I use a sealed battery for WFP which came off a golf Trolley, been fitted now for three years never ever gone Flat, never removed, just works... as things should.
Good Luck
