[QUOTE="condor22, post: 148188, member: 1932"] 300, I may be confusing you a little because I have 2 batteries in different environments, one in the car and one in the van. The method of charging and use differs; VAN - I leave the Projecta on when ever in my drive or on a powered site or if charging from generator. It has its own Redarc 1220 for when driving, because my van 3 way fridge is on 12V from the van battery, it uses about 14A, but the Redarc will charge at 20 max. I also have the capability of charging from solar. CAR - I do not charge with the Projecta (it's hard wired to the van) The car has an auxiliary battery, which is charged by another 1220 in the car when I'm driving. Because I drive pretty well every day and don't always have the Engel on, it gets charged or trickle charged as needed by the 1220. I can also plug in solar if camped up. Or run a generator through a smaller 8A 240V charger if needed. Both the Projecta and Redarc devices will "Float" (maintain) correctly as they are both Smart chargers. [/QUOTE]
