Thanks both - I will have a read-up.

I use the BM2 on my starter battery and monitor the voltage and charge via the app. I can see when the AMT 12-2 kicks in as required.

Hey guys, my converter is suggesting to use of one these... https://balmar.net/products/digital-duo-charge/ What do you think? Will this do the same job? Any pros or cons? TIA

This is something similar to what I have planned but I’ve already got a solar panel

...leave the internal blinds in to keep the sun out, in winter we have a small oilfilled radiator set at 5 deg to keep the frost out. I have an AMT 12 to keep the starter battery topped up. I don't run it between uses, IMHO this causes more harm than good, as unless you get the oil up to temp...

You should make sure that both batteries get a maintenance charge - ideally you have a decent multi stage charger on your EHU already for the leisure battery so just leave it hooked up - starter battery you can either fit something like the AMT-12 to trickle it from the maintained leisure...

1. Personally, I would connect my solar to the LB side of the DC-DC & fit something like an Ablemail AMt-12 to keep the SB topped up. Plenty of folk use this method & it works well. Fitting the solar to the SB side might fool the DC-DC into thinking that the engine is running (Depending on...

So I have a Sterling DC to DC B2B charger and have bought an AMT 12-2 to keep the starter battery topped up (Leisure Battery topped up by separate solar). Is it as simple as connecting the AMT 12-2 to the connectors in the Sterling unit labelled 5, 4 and 3 or am I a clueless :rolleyes: AMT

I’ve never been too sure of the effectiveness of my Ablemail AMT 12-2 either. It has been back for repair once as it was not charging. The BM2 does occasionally show a 0.03v charging blip but it does not keep my starter at a constant voltage when I’m not using the van and allows the stater to...

My Starter battery was replaced by the garage I bought the Van from but I discovered the muppets did not code the battery, so I did it. I like the concept of the AMC so will get one and see what happens. The Leisure Battery needs to earn its keep in the off season:)

Thanks for your reply, a run out to the supermarket is a good idea

That’s more or less what mine shows. I assumed that by setting the AMT12 to “smart alternator” it didn’t fully charge the starter battery. This is mine just now

...works for you longer term in a bit. Some mount a quick connect under the bonnet to make hook up easy, others fit something like the Ablemail AMT 12-2 trickle charger as a more fit and forget (so long as you have your leisure battery maintained from EHU/Solar) If you do mount a quick connect...

Sorry about the (non) English of my last post. Posted without reading it! Do you have some sort of shunt for your BM2? How does it know what flows in and out of it?

Looks like a nice setup. So what I would do.. would be to add in a Abelmail AMT12-2. I've got one on both vans now and it works perfectly..... (I've also got the 230ah lithium, and 50A DC-DC etc etc on both vans.) I've also added in the Abelmail Bluetooth adapter to twerk the AMT settings...

I'd agree with the comments so far. With charge rate I'd keep the Orion XS around 30A for general use, it's kinder on the battery, charger and keeps the heat down. You can always bump it up to the full 50A for a the week or two you're off grid and really drawing on the battery. With the...

Installed a AMT 12-2 Trickle Charger between the Starter Battery and Leisure Battery. Re- instated my newly sprayed (Gloss Black) overhead lighting unit.

Good suggestion with the AMT 12-2 @Dellmassive - Easily installed this tiny little thing today, (Hid it under the drivers seat with my Renogy 170Ah Lifepo4 and Victron 12-12/30 DC-DC charger.) Waiting on the BM2 to come tomorrow, but once I managed to set the thing up for Smart...

ordered one :)

My relationship with the Ablemail AMT-12 was off to a rocky start as it would only charge with my starter battery when the lithium leisure bank was above 13.5V and the starter under 12.4V. This is well discussed by @Dellmassive on the following topic - BM2 update (To be fair this was detailed...
