Can I connect solar and relay charger and battery charger and keep them connect to battrey all time and will I need each of them on switches to swap from each one when charging or will it be ok say leaving all 3 connected when charging from one of them

Hey! thanks for all this info, really makes sense to someone who knows nothing about electrics! This may be a really silly question but if you have three different charging options, how do you know which one you are using or do you have to choose? Could it over charge? I want to use all 3 options but can't seem to figure out how it works. Maybe because no one else is this clueless!! thanks!!!

Hi ExploreVan, I'm converting my van into a camper and I wonder if you might have an idea how long I would have to drive to charge my 115ah AGM battery if it was 50% depleted, can't seem to find that info anywhere, thanks in advance.

Great video very informative, I'm just about the fit a split charge system using a kit I purchased with the same duritc relay but after watching your video would I be better of buying a battery to battery b to b charger and using that instead of the duritc ? Do they wire in the same way ? And What battery to battery charger would be best to buy in the uk ? I will be using a 90-100ah AGM battery off my engine battery in my vwt5, thanks again for the great video
