Split Charge System. was created by wanderinstar

I intend fitting a secondary battery on the n/side inner wing,after moving the washer bottle forward. Question is how do I fit a split charge system.Been on the bay and there is one for about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£.20 while others are about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£70-80. Reading the bumf it appears that the secondary battery takes its power from the vehicle battery while the ignition is switched on. Have I got this right?

the one i had on my camper was Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 from towsure

your alternator charges your main battery and when thats full it flicks over and charges the slave

on a normal car battery it doesnt need much charge so most of the time its charging the slave

I presume that was just for the relay? How did you wire it up?

thats basicly what a split charger is , a relay

output 1 (to car battery)
output 2 (to slave battery)
