    Hi,

    Does anyone have any experience or advice on using an Intelligent Split Charge Relay to charge an Auxiliary battery,

    There is absolutely loads of them out there at very different prices and I am wondering has anyone any experience using them or could they recommend a good one to me,

    My Aux battery is a 110Ah but I would like the option to upgrade this in time or even add a second battery,

    I am using the battery to power lights, fridge etc etc,

    Thanks,

    How deep are your pockets and are you only using the battery for fridges etc or need it as a back up starter battery?

    There's lots or ways of doing it from a simple ignition controlled relay to sophisticated battery management systems. The least I'd look at is a voltage sensing relay that doesn't charge the second battery until the main one is fully charged.

    I know the following links are Land Rover based but the advice is universal -
