EVEN a 100 amp relay is only around £20 quid so it still beats spending £220 on DC to DC charging thing

B2B charger.
When your engine battery is fully charged the alternator all but shuts down, until something draws power (lights etc) which is why normal split charge isn't too brilliant over a short journey time.
In basic terms, a B2B fools the alternator into thinking the engine battery is discharged so it whacks out loadsa amps to charge the leisure battery very fast.

I have seen the adverts about those, just wondering if it fools the alternator into charging more to the leisure battery ,will it over charge the engine one at the same time?

Mr. Sterling himself has noted that the B2B can cause some issues if you have a Schaudt Electrobloc charger / 12V management system, but I believe they can be overcome without difficulty.

I have a fairly convention system where my one 110 Ahr leisure battery is charged via a bog standard split charger relay, the Sargent 240V power management system and a 80W solar panel. I also have a Battery Master to trickle charge the engine battery when the leisure battery if fully charged.
I am not wishing to discuss the merits or demerits of this system - what I would like to know is what modifications are needed to the system if I fit a Sterling B2B charger.
1. Do I need to remove the split charger supply?
2. Do I need to remove the battery master?
3. Anything else?
