From looking at the schematic, and the blurb that comes with it, looks like a sleadgehammer to crack a walnut.

In a vehicle , all you need is a ign operated relay to allow charging of the second battery, and if you need to join them for wiching or self jump starting a h duty battery isolator switch eg Hella

Ive always done it in that manner on my overland vehicles its simple , cheap , and works JMHO
