I ran this method for years and occasionally ended up having to run the van whilst working. I now have a Leisure battery in the van so as not to use the van's batteries.
Main reason I switched a local guy had his van knicked whilst working!
Your sysytem is probably just reducing the amp's enough so there isn't enough power to start the van.

Hi Rob It will honestly do 40+ hours work before needing a charge. I think its a platinum leisure battery

My next battery will be 2x 6volt lithium phosphate batteries wired to give 12 volts as these can take a charge better and will run at full power until 95% flat. Were a lead acid only delivers 12 volt for a third of the charge, when they reach 9.25v they will not work with your pump and will go even less time with a controller as most cut out earlier.

I bought one a year and a half ago from Advanced Battery Supplies (Google them) for £55 and it only died because I didn't put any water in it.
Just bought another one which I expect should last years without a hassle.
