    As I understand it (as a layman, could be wrong), that depends on the state of your charging battery. If it is charged beyond about 80% then normally most DBCs will then connect the second battery.
    I would do what you propose and put the multi-stage charger on the Optima for several days and see how it goes.

    Hi Glen,it should turn on around 10 seconds after the motor started.

    Well I finally got a chance to get the aux battery out this morning and throw it on the charger.

    Whilst there I noticed the LED on the SC80 was flashing, checked the main batt voltage, 11.9v at least that bit works and the old girl still cranked over, first time for a week so happy about that.

    Pulled the SC80 out, and had a look inside but I'll talk to Tim about that first.

    Lets hope the optima can recover on the charger or it will be a new battery and controller

    This mess will take a bit to sort out, looks like a Mulgo Ex Box coming right up and a few hours tracing circuits




    Cant believe the yellow top was jammed in there aswell.
