Smartcom Split Charge

<< < (2/2)

Damonski:
Thats the beasty I have  :D

Range Rover Blues:
I'm not even sure the smart com is up to the job it's designed for.  Out of interest I left a small light on in the 'van coming back from Whaddon, modern 'vans are now wired up with only 2 feeds, live and fridge.  When the fridge (ignition or voltage sensitive switch) comes live, an internal relay switches the live feed off and connects it to the battery in order to charge that.  the theory is it limits the currect drain from the car as modern 'van fridges use a lot of power, this also prevents large 'crosstalk' effects into the car's wiring loom, apparently.

Anyway, the 'van looked like a disco and I don't mean big tyres and a snorkel, the light was flashing on and off, or it just stayed on, so something is not right.

I think I'll use the smartcom to drive a power relay that is up to the job.
