littlebill,
"when the voltage drops under 13v the banks disconnect, in this case using the override switch will allow the relay to connect the banks and start the motor",
I think I am starting to get the picture,
So if the starter battery is under 13v,(lets say I left the lights on), the charging relay will disconnect the house/starter battery from each other so as to not drain the house battery ?correct?
Then, unbeknownst to me when I try to start the van the battery is dead" but also disconnected from the house battery by the relay" because the start batt went under 13v? correct?
Then i go into the back of my van and do the override switch, let the batteries co mingle for 15 minutes or so, then turn the overide switch back OFF and start the van OR leave the override switch ON?
thanks
