Deka Battery Isolator # DW08770 Recommendation for Charging Van Camper Second Battery
Question:
I am doing a Transit Van camper conversion. I want to charge my house battery from the starter battery under the drivers seat. Can I connect the starter battery to the house battery with the Deka Battery Charger in between? Should I also add a battery isolater on the starter battery side to protect both batteries or does this product do that? I believe I read that you did not want to connect directly from the alternator for various reasons? ...not to mention it is 8 to 10 ft away! I understand that a smart charger can do a better job of charging and maintaining the house battery.
