Stan, if your at all technically minded compare the relevant technical information on the various manufacturers web sites, see if the systems are RECOMENDED by the relevant manufacturer as suitable for the intended purpose, using the batteries you have now and would like to use in the future..

Then when you have made an informed decision ask someone who has the system installed that you woul like if it works for them, with the battery system you will be using....

I started with a Solenoid, changed to Pirahna DB150E anw use Rotronics :-)

I've been using one for years without incurring any battery charging problems. How they work is where you have a duel battery system, the one that is the designated start battery must have at least 75% charge capacity before the Rotronics unit will transfer any charge from the alternator to the second battery. If you do get one make sure it is rated for the alternator fitted in your vehicle. Cheers

I had one. It lasted two years without trouble and then shook to pieces on the Gary Junction Road this year. I threw it in the bin

I replaced it with a common solenoid

I use the Rotronics, had it fitted in the old Lux 4 years ago, have had no problems.

Will be fitting it into the new Lux this weekend :-)

I recommend you ring Rotronics and describe the situation and intended use.

I have one that is doing the job in my car but only just. It occasionally needs a little help from a 240 battery charger. I rang Rotronics and the guy was very helpful. He told me that the unit I have is not the best for what I am asking it to do. (it was in the car when I bought it). He said it will probably die bacause it is working too hard and that when it does I should replace it with a different model.

He did not try to sell the upgrade immediately and said my unit would give a bit of warning on the way out. Stating that the aux battery would fail first. At this stage I am not sure what I will do when it fails but I will probably give Rotronics a call at least.

Duncs

we had a problem with our rotronics unit rang the guy there he even came too our home which is about 2hrs from the factory explained and sorted out the problem which was installation related then i had to take the car to his factory they fitted a unit [no charge] rewired it too correct termials ect final cost bugger all
told a mate about this as his wasnt right also and he got the same treatment how can you beat that for after sales service
get the thing installed by the right person in the start then they are a very good unit with top after sales service
