Suggestions of split charge relays

[Negativegravity]

Right, so my smartcom switch has given up the ghost. I'm going to replace it with something that is a little more up to the mark and more durable.

What are people using/recommend?

Cheers

Do you need a separate 'switched' feed for the fridge, is yes then I would go for one of these:

If you don't need a separate fridge feed then a straight heavy duty relay like this would be the most reliable:

If you want the simplest setup then another SMART relay would be the best...not necessarily the most reliable:

Cheapest and still capable use one of these: however, wiring is a little more complex.

Got one of these, does the job, was reccomended by somebody on here

auto sensing of voltage so no need for alternator feed

Nice one guys. Basically I only need it to charge the leisure battery when I'm running the engine. The fridge is only on gas anyways.

Is the wiring of this one simple enough?

Guessing this one/type is overkill and unnecessary?

Wiring of the auto sensing type is the easiest, just three wires
12v main batt ground and 12v leisure batt

Smartcom relays are good in that you can adjust the switching voltage, just use one to switch a larger standard relay.

You will get all sorts of opinions on this...mine is: the smart relays do offer a simple solution but a straight forward 100amp NAGARES is much cheaper and once wired in, will offer you solid reliability......the additional wiring amounts to picking up a feed from the blue 'exciter' wire on the alternator.

Yep, thats what I did too. I found a heavy duty Bosch one at a boot sale one day.
