Go to a caravan spares/sales place or anywhere that fits tow bars or a motor spares shop like halfords.
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

Here's a link to the maplin one.. http://www.maplin.co.uk/lead-acid-battery-split-charge-module-37767  I haven't ever tried it though.



However, I have used the Brocott Self Switching one (as linked to above by richard clues)  and found it great, it's a 30amp too..

the maplins one will only charge when van is running turns itself on and of , you will need couple of fuses and some red , and black  cable wire .

It protects the battery, to stop your second battery charging the van battery when you are stopped!

alright so i better buy that one  ??? , im just trying to call the seller but no answer looks like it comes with everything i need inc 4 meters of cable, so maybe i could simply connect them up , where do i feed the cable into the van from the vans battery? i was quoted £130 by local wfp place to fit and supply one of these £60+ vat for the relay and £45 per hour pluss vat to fit :D

You just need to feed from the battery, I ran mine into the van from underneath. You'll find a rubber grommet in the floor, pop it out & bring wires up into van.

I have since disconnected mine as the second van doesn't do enough miles daily to keep the battery topped up. Ended up buying a 2nd ctec  charger to charge nightly.
