Battery Master

[Jimjo]

We are moving shortly and will now have to put our van into storage rather than up our drive. I would like to install a battery master. Please excuse my ignorance but is it as simple as connecting it to the battery charger in the photo under the passenger seat?

 

[Lenny HB]

Yes.

Your storage is outside I assume for the solar to work

 

[Jimjo]

Yes. Thanks

Yes, I fitted the Ablemail equivalent on my Globecar Summit there. Its actually the B2B you're fitting it to/round.

Great. Thanks

As you have a Schaudt booster do you also have a schaudt elektrobloc? I believe that some models are connected to both leisure and starter batteries so a battery master may not be needed.
Just a thought.

Thanks - really don’t know but will check out

Probably not, my 2023 Globecar Summit has a cbe unit accessed from rear of passenger seat.

Elektrobloc only charges starter battery on electric hookup.

If you do have an Elektrobloc(EB), be aware that the B2B/booster may output to the input of the EB. The relay inside the EB will stop the leisure battery connection getting to the booster when the engine is stopped. You will then need to connect the BM to the output side of the EB instead.
A multimeter on the booster connections will confirm.
