Hi,
I'm currently waiting for my new Transit to arrive so I'm trying to source info and items to install once it gets here.
I'm a bit confused about the dual battery system... I've read quite a lot about the way the smart alternators work on those Euro6 so I understand I need a booster (Or DC-DC Charger) but I'm quite confused about the Start&Stop system.
I read about a connector on the mk7s that has current when ignition is on, but nothing about the newer mk8 (Mine will be a 2.0 Ecoblue Euro 6.2 with S&S).
Supposing I find a signal for triggering my DC-DC Charger, if that signal is like the mk7 one it will not be the ideal, as it only says ignition is on but not the engine is on. I mean, I don't want the mail battery giving amps to the secondary when you're stopped in a red light with the engine stopped, for example...
I've seen there are some D+ Simulators but could not find any info about those.
How would you install a dual battery system on a S&S mk8?
Thanks in advance,
David
