Given that I used my 110 everyday, i just linked my batteries together without any VSR relays or split charge systems. Starter battery monitored off a dash voltmeter, aux off a bluetooth monitor.

Never skipped a beat in 4 years of use..


Same here. After years of messing about with split chargers, I’ve now just got two batteries joined together permanently, and it always works. I’m running two odyssey’s.

Its expensive but it works.

I replaced my national luna with this and am very happy with it. The manual switch is a great bonus for all sorts of things particularly when the main battery is dead

I have scrapped the optimas which seem to me to be designed to look nice rather than work and have some numax leisure batteries which you can replace 3 times for the cost of one optima

Reading this with interest. The auxiliary yellow optima in my 110 has failed and I’m looking for replacement
