[QUOTE="gagvanman, post: 639026, member: 17411"] Seems like nobody on here has suffered this issue with a Durite split charge relay. Between the showers today, cleaned up the earth connections to both batteries. Noticed that after running the engine the red light on the relay remained on after engine is shut down. Did some research and apparently when the red light is on it indicated the relay is in its "engaged state" and that current is free to flow from one battery to the other. I think this means that both batteries are at a voltage level above the relay cutover threshold. Had a thought about this for a moment, then turned the van headlights on for a minute or 2. Checked the relay and the red light was out. I don't know if this will resolve the issue, but will leave the van for a few days before checking the starter battery voltage again. [/QUOTE]
