Anyone who owns an RV has probably faced problems with starting it at one time or another. More often than not, this is due to battery issues. Most battery setups include two batteries, the house battery and starter battery. These are connected together via an isolator, which makes sure that one battery does not drain the other. Unfortunately, if either battery is faulty, the other will also not charge. With that in mind, the
trik-l-start system was developed which changed the relationship between the two batteries. Now, as long as one battery is fine, there are no starting problems in sight.
How Does Trik-L-Start Work
The trik-l-start is a diversion charger. It diverts current from one battery to another. It connects the two batteries using a current relay. The connection is maintained as long as the engine is running. This way, both batteries are charging at the same time and the house battery doesn’t drain the starter battery.
In case one of your batteries is low, you can use the other as a stopgap measure. You can effectively jump start your RV with your house battery when the starter battery is low, or divert current from the starter battery to the generator if needed.
Benefits of Trik-L-Start
Trik-l-start works for both diesel and gas engines, single and multiple engine batteries. You can leave it connected at all times. The system has been built to allow current flow in one direction only, so there is no risk of your batteries losing charge. It does not interfere with regular engine function or battery life. In fact, it may prolong the life of the starter battery.
Trik-l-start maintains the starter battery at 0.2 volts lower than the house battery, which is thought to be ideal for its useful life. There is also no chance of overcharging.
Battery problems are a thing of the past. Make sure you aren’t left behind. Give RV Upgrades a call at 1-866-332-7881 or visit our website for all your RV needs.
