House2Start Chassis Battery Charger Around an Isolator Solenoid

At the Flamingles Spring Rally I helped a 2019 LTV Unity owner add a House2Start to his original LTV isolator solenoid (Alternator charging device for his house batteries). While this owner has previously replaced his LTV lead acid batteries for Lithium batteries and a Xantrex 2000w Inverter, he never replaced his isolator solenoid with a DC-DC charger like so many folks do. At the moment he wants a charging solution for his AGM Chassis battery. House2Start to the rescue! Adding a chassis battery charger like the House2Start to your Leisure Travel Vans (LTV) is an important upgrade because keeping your engine starting chassis battery charged helps ensure you can always start your engine.

It's understandable that there is alot of parasitic draw from your engine starting chassis battery. Vehicle Manufacturers have added lots of safety and convenience features that must be powered, even when the engine is off. With today's newer models the engine starting chassis battery can get discharged enough in just 2 weeks of sitting that it can't start your engine.

The House2Start is an actual multi-stage battery charger that keeps your chassis battery charged from your house battery charging sources. So if your solar system or inverter battery charger are charging your house battery, then the House2Start uses that same house battery charging power to keep your chassis battery charged up. The House2Start is compatible with any type house batteries and uses that battery charging to convert to the charging profile needed to charge your AGM lead acid chassis battery. The House2Start is a multi-stage battery charger so it provides Bulk, Absorption, and Float charging just like the battery chargers you have for house battery charging. The House2Start will correctly maintain your chassis battery charged up and ready to start your engine, no matter how long you've had it parked, even if it is for months! I've been using a chassis battery charger like this for 10 years on my LTV and I've never been stranded!
