No, but you could make something up using a decent relay

Hi. I have just fitted a second (leisure) battery to my transit using a ready made kit I bought from ebay (item number https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251491011991) I opted for the slightly more expensive voltage sensing relay option as this eliminates the need to power the relay from the ignition circuit. Was simple to fit following the instructions included and all cables came with terminals ready crimped. The relay senses the voltage rise when the engine is running and switches allowing the alternator to charge both batteries, when the engine is stopped and the voltage drops the relay switches thus isolating the batteries from each other meaning the main start battery isn't flattened. I run a TV (thro a 300w inverter) and led lighting with no hassles.
