Battery charger on chassis batteries permanently!

Can I safely do this?

I just bought Amp-L-start and it's not really charging that much. It charges and cuts out intermittently.

I can replace my old Heart interface with a new Magnum MS2012 and it's dual bank smart charger, but that's like $2 grand! :E:E

I am fed up with my radio draining my chassis batteries and I'm thinking of buying a $40 automatic 10 amp battery charger and hook it up permantly to my chassis batteries. This way I know that when I am plugged in to shore power or my generator is running my chassis batteries are being charged.
  • What is the house battery voltage? I cannot imagine amp-l-start is not working.
  • I would give the AMP-L-START people a call and see if they can help. I have one and it works great
