[STEVE-UK]

just done a split charge on my new van,

[ronnie paton]

thanks i have done one but hard drive failed sohave lost the diagram

[STEVE-UK]

what are you having trouble with?

[ronnie paton]

on the back of the relay there are different numbers and you are supposed to wire the correct wires in the right place.(i think)

[luther1]

Google the same question.About a thousand diagrams will come up. Take your pick

[Moderator David@stives]

Why would you want a split relay ?

Just wire into the van battery.

[LWC]

They simple enough, i did one years ago, theres an earth, a wire to +, one to alternator then a wire to the other battery.

It looks hard but it aint really...although you could just put 2 batteries in circuit....or even as dave said run it off van battery

[ronnie paton]

 wired straight to vehicle battery and it would kill it if I didn't leave it running, which just isn't safe.

[LWC]

No it wouldnt, i run 2 systems off mine all day long, and on one job i run them both all day without moving van

[ronnie paton]

a big thanks for diagram

LWC well my system has never lasted, my alternator and battery has been checked as well.

I really dont understand that.

[LWC]

What do you mean mate? never lasted?

[ronnie paton]

when i first got it fitted it did ok when i was doing short and un regular days but then it started to die so i had to run engine every couple of hours.

i ended up doinga split relay, then got brodex to sort out a flow controller and pump and they wired to vehicle battery and again same problem

[LWC]

Is it a good battery, sounds like you could do with a halfords calcuim battery...very good batteries

I have them on all my vehicles

[Moderator David@stives]

I have run twin set ups on 3 vans for a couple of years with no problems at all.


just wire straight into your van battery.

[ronnie paton]

battery and alternator is fine so not sure why.

Dave like iv said iv tried on thre different vans and it just hasnt woked.

Its mainly when the pump is running constantly(compact work)

[LWC]

A battery is what you need and a varistream

[Moderator David@stives]

Ron

maybe the batteries were past there best.

Did you run a varistream ?
