split charge system
Hello,
Can anyone clarify / explain 2 things about / to split charge systems for me please?
Do they prevent one battery running down whilst using ancillaries with the engine turned off? Do they prevent the voltage equalisation that occurs when connecting two batteries together, for example while starting?
If I run the low voltage feed to the relay from the charge warning light in the dash, then this connects the two batteries when the light is on, i.e. the instant the ignition is turned on, which is bad because the voltages will then equalise with the possibility of leaving me with not enough volts to start.
I know i'm getting confused, but can someone help??
Cheers,
George
