Don't have mains. Never found a use for that even though its all there (unconnected) although I gather some owners only hook up on sites. When I started I fitted a conventional relay before adding solar 8 years later to help cover a weeks wild-camping.

I have just discovered the voltage sensing split charge relay was shutting off at just over 13v which is where the trickle charge holds it, just adjusted the potentiometer and it now trickles both.
I was wondering why the leisure was always lower voltage.

I'm lucky enough to be able to park out back in my garden, I often plug in in winter so it's always fully charged as I only use it weekends in winter. I wish it could be a daily but at 70 miles per day it is just not practical.
