Hi, I have just purchased an engel 40L fridge/freezer. I have a dual battery setup with a redarc isolator, the aux battery powers the 12V socket in the back of my prado. From what I gather the aux battery is a typical wet cell, not sure exactly what type but know its a Century brand. All the wiring and setup has been done by the previous owner and has been done properly.
Anyway, what I want to know is, should I invest in something like the "Engel 12VDCBATTC :: 12 Volt in car Battery Charger" for peace of mind. I am planning to go on a big trip up north for a few weeks. I have been reading in a lot of forums that the alternator is sometimes not efficient enough to fully charge the aux battery the isolator dual battery setup. In saying that, if I was to purchase an "12VDCBATTC :: 12 Volt in car Battery Charger" or something similar, do I have the remove the redarc isolator or will they work fine together.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers
