[QUOTE="71Westy, post: 161611, member: 13278"] Off topic, I'm afraid, but back to that original diagram - there's one bit I'm not keen on, and I keep seeing it. I don't believe that it should show the split charge relay switched by the ignition. It should go to the terminal on the dynamo or alternator that goes to the warning light on the dash. That way you only bring the leisure battery in circuit when the engine is running. Otherwise, you'll be connecting in the leisure battery when you switch on the ignition and try and start the engine, adding load to the vehicle main battery. And if you don't fuse it correctly (fuses aren't show either), with a flat main battery you'll be trying to start from the leisure battery, and I doubt the wiring will be up to it (let alone the leisure battery). Just a thought. Nick [/QUOTE]
