Split charge relay

Looks like our smartcom split charge relay is playing up clicking lots and wont adjust any further to allow charging to leisure battery. Tested it with a volt meter. Are there any more robust relays on the market as this is the second smartcom in three years.

Has to be the Willinton one - they really are the best 8)
It could just be that your leisure battery is too low in power - try using a battery charger to boost it. Have you checked the voltage of the leisure battery?

Voltage down to 11.5 . Will try charging first but where do you get willinton kits from.

I believe Willinton modifies them though?

Couldn't say to be honest. In fact, looking around that website I linked to, they say that split charge relays are their speciality - then in their pictures of the kits they have ............. S C O T C H L O C K S ! !

So, I'll retract that last post, and concurr with Kirsty - Drop Martin an email via ebay, and he will sort you out. Decent bloke who (as we would say up here) "kens his ingins".

If you have any issues, Martin's (Willinton) very good about sorting things out (with the split charge - not general issues with life, etc :wink: )

Martin internally modifies the standard Nagares 70 amp relay
