On our previous van I installed a CTEK connector (£25 off ebay) into an unused switch socket in the dash, this was then wired to the starter battery. when we parked the van on the drive I connected the ehu and then plugged my CTEK charger into the connector, plug the chargerinto the mains and left it untill we used the van again.

Cheers

The terminal is under the bonnet on the nearside in a little black box marked +

Our 2011 Warwick Duo would go flat in a few weeks if it was not plugged in to the EHU with Vehicle battery selected on the control panel.

This is a good example of why a battery to battery connecting device is useful. The one that I have fitted to my Duo allows 1.1 amps maximum to pass from leisure to starter battery in order to maintain it at maximum and allow for the drain caused by the alarm system. With this device in place, there is no need to select the vehicle battery on the control panel and both batteries are maintained automatically.
