Split charge relay? Don't know anything about them never used one.

Im with dave, get a spare pump and controller if you want a spare pump box (thats all the pump boxes are, they just come fitted)

If you buy the same pump as a spare as the one in the box(i'm assuming shurflo) then before you take the old one off, take a note on how its wired and then wire the new one the same!
In a nut shell its positive wire to positive wire, negative to negative but you'll get instructions with it. you'll just want connectors

cheers mate.im on about wiring an analogue controller to pump and battery(replacing the digital one on pumpbox)

Post by: Lee GLS on June 13, 2014, 08:08:44 am: 4 wires, 2 to the pump, 2 to the battery. They controllers come with bullet connectors and the wire will be the same colour so it will just be a case of unplugging and plugging in the new wires.

Post by: Ian Sheppard on June 13, 2014, 08:48:29 am: , The distributors hold analogues in stock and can likely produce a pump box with an analogue as opposed to a digital. Alternatively as Don and Lee say It is straight forward to switch a controller on the pump box following the guides on connections

Scroll down to V11 analogue
