Voltage sensing split charge relays do not always work very well with mains chargers or solar panels , as the voltage increases they think the engine is running and split the charge when you maybe don't want it splitting ?....
In my experience it's better to have a alternator triggered manual relay if you have a mains charger onto one of the batterys when on hook up

Mine only runs off alternator when diving. When parked it runs on gas.
