I can't remember the guy's name but here is his website https://www.simplysplitcharge.co.uk/ give him a bell he's very helpful and knows his stuff, he will help you out. I got my sterling one from him for a new van and used him before for the duralite chargers.

I have two of these kits: https://www.simplysplitcharge.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=80_148_149
One in each of our 2016 Vivaros. Work great. The only difference in the kits in the link is the cable length. Depends where you situate it. I think from memory I bought the 7 metre kits. Mounted them to the ply wall lining just behind the drivers seat.
Hope that helps.

Sorry, just seen this.
Simon has it covered. BB1230 is fine.
If you have more than one leisure battery - a battery bank - then I would probably move up to a BB1260.
Simon, how have you connected the B2B charger up? Ie, have you used an ignition feed like they suggest if you have a model with regenerative braking?
Thanks

thanks everyone for your help ;)

No ignition feed Spruce. Just van battery to 110 leisure battery.

When it arrives you will find a quick guide inside to set it up.
The main setup involves charging voltage. These setting will depend on what battery type your leisure battery is. For example, a maintenance free leisure battery would be set to be charged at 14.2v which is the default setting (or it was on mine.) A standard 'open' battery can be set to be charged at 14.6v and there are other charge settings for AGM and lithium batteries.
My Sterling unit came with a battery temperature sensor which effects how the charger deals with a very cold lithium battery. A cold lead acid battery can be charged at a slightly higher voltage so the temp sensor is a good option although not essential when charging these.
