ring 12v and up to 12a smart charger

[Deleted member 71915]

just bought one of these new / never used £25 looks like a bargain and gets good reviews, just 2 things it says for charging 1 battery mine has 2 x110amps is it ok to charge them as they are ie connected, the charger as a 300amp capacity, also can I leave the campers charger on ie using the ehu or will it need a separate mains feed to it,

If you have a charger in van why do you want a second one,unless the old one is not a smart charger then it makes sense to remove it and fit the new unit.
But remember some old type chargers are also step down transformers to power lights etc,so changing will/may require some re rigging.
If it were me i would fit the smart charger and split the output to both leisure and engine battery with this unit as i have done.
The charger you have bought will do all this with no bother.

thanks foe the reply, 2 things how to split it between batteries and also the van is fitted with day time lights which come on as soon as you attach a charger, would it be easy to wire these in a different way? ps how will I find out about the transformer, and thanks again
