[QUOTE="warrenstuart, post: 639092, member: 28990"] I’m not familiar with the Durite relays but I agree with creationblue, plus to me that’s a bit hit and miss, my bus just has a conventional automotive relay switched by the alternator charge/sense pin so when the alternator is charging the LB is connected and when it’s not it isn’t which to me is a much more cut and dry way of doing it. Just thinking outside the box though have you measured the battery terminal voltage while the alternator is charging because if the alternator voltage regulator is faulty and the voltage is way too high the battery terminal voltages will remain high for quite a while when the engine is turned off and your Durite relay will remain open… just a thought 🤔 [/QUOTE]
