Here's a link to the maplin one.. http://www.maplin.co.uk/lead-acid-battery-split-charge-module-37767 (http://www.maplin.co.uk/lead-acid-battery-split-charge-module-37767) I haven't ever tried it though.
However, I have used the Brocott Self Switching one (as linked to above by richard clues) and found it great, it's a 30amp too..

thanks the only thing im looking at is concept said its called something els Intelligent split charge system rather then lead acid split charge same thing? if so what other bits and bobs do i need ie wire?
-
the maplins one will only charge when van is running turns itself on and of , you will need couple of fuses and some red , and black cable wire .
-
That maplin one has no Battery reverse feed protection either!
-
what is that ???
-
what is that ???
It protects the battery, to stop your second battery charging the van battery when you are stopped!

Click on the link to the one I put up from ebay and read about that one that explains it better.

alright so i better buy that one ??? , im just trying to call the seller but no answer looks like it comes with everything i need inc 4 meters of cable, so maybe i could simply connect them up , where do i feed the cable into the van from the vans battery? i was quoted £130 by local wfp place to fit and supply one of these £60+ vat for the relay and £45 per hour pluss vat to fit :D
-
You just need to feed from the battery, I ran mine into the van from underneath. You'll find a rubber grommet in the floor, pop it out & bring wires up into van.
I have since disconnected mine as the second van doesn't do enough miles daily to keep the battery topped up. Ended up buying a 2nd ctec charger to charge nightly.

I got this one here, it doesn't seem to be charging. I may have wired it up wrong. Just waiting for my voltmeter to come trough the post to test it ....

Looks good, but bet it costs more than £40! That's what it cost me for my split charger and volt meter and pump controller. All separate items, if one goes down my system still works.

Yeah I followed the diagram and I believe i wired it up correctly. I hear the "click" when i turn the ignition, so there's power going to it.
I'm starting to believe that the crank battery my be faulty. I've only had this van for a few weeks and ever since i got it the radio normally goes in to "economy mode" only after 10 mins of being on. I may get it tested

it it clicking then its working, so they say, best bet is to get the main battery checked just to see if thats working ok.

Yeah its the best bet. Bloody typical eh? Cheers
