I was looking to upgrade the leisure battery that is located under the drivers seat, daft place as you have to take the seat out to get at it. With the seat removed, I found that it was only a 61 AH battery. I thought I would increase the size up to something like 100/110 AH and also stick another one, and link them under the other seat. Whilst I had the seat out I thought I would stick a multi meter across the terminals to check the state of the battery, not bad, 12.4 v, Right, lets see what 'tis like with the engine running, 'twas the same. Silly me, I automatically thought there must be a split charging system. Apparently not, I looked in the hand book, and there is no mention of it there, just the fact that there is a 240/12 V charger that you can use whilst connected to a hook up. Not the best if your on at a site thats not got a hook up. Am I right in assuming that this year of van didn't come with split charging capabilities?If I'm right, is it very involved adding a split charging unit and what type or brand would you recommend.Kind Regards,John.</blockquote>
