Why are you wanting split charge?
They look ok but how much ampage can they deal with? Its no use if they are intended to be used as part of a trickle charge system as they will fry the minute the altenator kicks in. If you are wanting to use the second battery for a winch you need to isolate any charge system from this as they can draw very large ampages.
hope this helps a little

Just looking to have a back up battery in the car, for maybe camping needs in the future but also to run additonal spots, working lamps.  doubt i will ever be fortunate enough to fit a Winch.

I run one of these onto a leisure battery, running off this a 240V converter and 8” tv screen so the lad can watch movies and play PS2. but not used for anything bigger. oh and the 12v cool box.

I would only put a very light load on with that kind of charger.  Its a charger not a charger/power linker  aka A Relay :)

imho the only way to get a decent split charge system where you will never have to worry about the load, will be with a big relay :)

There a rough guide by photos in my mud-club gallery

you could use it to trigger a relay though. 180amp are fairly easily available then you have no worries.
