yeah just looked it up, it does it automaticaly. but when you decharge it(winching) press the link button and it will keep both charging to you have the most power for winching
then it can be put back to auto when you just want it to charge each as normall, it will click from link to auto in about 15 mins automaticaly. :cheer: simple really

thats basicly what a split charger is , a relay

power in (from alternator)
output 1 (to car battery)
output 2 (to slave battery)

simples :)


While I have been trawling through the net all I have found has been 4 terminal relays.2Small spades for the switching coil and 2 large ones.1brings power in and the other takes it out.Haven't seen one like you descibe. Where did you get it? Do you have a link?
