    Charging Car and caravcan batteries

    I have a Traxide battery isolator in the Defender, a deep cycle in the canopy and a deep cycle in the caravan.

    Where should I plug in the Ctek to charge all the batteries - at the Defender crankers or on one of the deep cycles?

    Put it on the starting battery ... when the charge voltage rises high enough at the starting battery, the Traxide isolator will connect the two other aux batteries, which will then also start charging.

    If you put it on either of the two aux' batteries, AND the Traxide isolator has isolated the aux' batteries from the cranking battery, then only the aux' batteries will be charged.
