ianmayco68 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi all, I've got to the point were I'm about to fit the split charge kit to my 110. I know battery choice is personal, I've searched on here and apart from the usual optima and odyssey options which are a bit expensive the other reasonable options I come across were the numax cxv 30 hrmf for £80 a piece and the yuasa 019 which I found for £86 a piece on ebay. I wondered if anyone on here that uses either of these has had any problems with them or has anybody got any better suggestions ? cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hmmm, I used a Numax for a few years. Not a problem. If you read my "our project" post you'll see I use two 85 Amp Numax batteries charged via a 100Watt solar panel. I still have a second battery in my Defender, again a Numax, For the split charge relay I use an ordinary 70 Amp relay, I knw it doesn't have flashy flashing lights but it does the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnarne Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 First you need to define why you need split charger, and 2 batteries. If for winching you need one setup, and for cooler box when camping, you need another setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmayco68 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi, I've already got the split charge kit brought it off amazon its got a vsr , two fuse boxes one for each battery that sits between the vsr and the battery, and a fuse box so you can wire things directly into the leisure battery. But as for usage I will be fitting a winch, which will be used occasionally but I do a lot of carp fishing and plan to do more night fishing so a fridge will be purchased at a later date so bait and food can be kept fresh plus plan on fitting other extras,. I do realise that I need to fit an isolater switch for the winch . cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren_T Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi Ian, I used Numax CVX 85aH for about 4 years bought from Tynya - or something like that. Excellent batteries, mine were used in a split charge with winch on starter battery and secondary battery supplying radio and aux power plugs and Engle fridge when we are camping If you are going to install the split charge buy and install 2 new batteries, dont buy a new 2nd battery and add it to an old starter battery. There are lots of theads on the web as why this is a bad idea. regards all Gren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
