Split charge relay
« on: August 16, 2012, 11:19:57 pm »
Hi all,I know a lot of you guys use a split charge relay but which do you recommend?
I bought a cheap n nasty one last year with instructions in japanese lol and needless to say it never worked :( :( :(
Where do you guys get them from and do you fit them yourselves or get an electrician or mechanic to fit them ???

Thanks in advance

Pete

I got mine from Maplins cant remember the cost but it was quite cheap!!
Fitted it myself over 2 years ago and seems to be doing the trick

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPLIT-CHARGE-RELAY-12V-30AMP-INTELLIGENT-SELF-SWITCHING-/110936870624?pt=UK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories&hash=item19d45a4ee0

From ebay - same seller does a kit too, with the wires, terminals etc

As above - easy to fit - one wire from battery to back of van, rest of the connections are in the back of the van.

Some split chargers you have to tap into an alternator connection - hassle!

Got mine from local 'Trailer Supply' company £14 an auto Sparky friend fitted it for me 5 years ago, never had any probs whatsoever, been great!
Two heavy duty cables from main battery, earth to van, job done, I use a sealed battery for WFP which came off a golf Trolley, been fitted now for three years never ever gone Flat, never removed, just works... as things should.
Good Luck
