Product Questions

If I have a winch connected to my main battery will this damage the National Luna DIY Split Charge System Kit?

Question by: Tad Hylkema

No, having a winch or any other load on your batteries should not affect the National Luna Split Charge System (ECOM028). This system is designed to charge each battery safely and isolate them if you choose. There are many ways to configure electrical systems, so you should consult the National Luna instruction manual and ensure all systems are installed correctly.

Answer by: Front Runner

Will this work with a 125 Amp alternator in a Mercedes G-Wagon ?

Question by: wouter

Absolutely! Our National Luna Dual Battery Kit will work in you Mercedes G-Wagen.

Answer by: Front Runner

I have a Genesyz split charger and it worked with 2 matching batteries. Will the National Luna system work with 13v?

Question by: Chris Mutton

The National Luna system will work because it's only an isolating switch that works automatically.

Answer by: Front Runner

Can I use a heavier gauge wire if I wanted to place the auxiliary battery in the bed of a truck. In an enclosure?

Question by: Robert

Absolutely! It never hurts to use thicker gauge wiring for longer wire runs, but the wiring with the kit would work as well.

Answer by: Front Runner

Any issues with using this to charge dissimilar batteries? My plan is using an AGM as secondary and retaining my lead-acid for starting.

Question by: Jeff Wetherill

Sounds like a good plan! Yes, that will work.

Answer by: Front Runner

the "Dual battery controller (monitor)" in your product description is monitor or controller ? In the installation guide it is mentioned "controller" and not "monitor". Do I need to buy the "controller" in addition? to use the over-ride function

Question by: Ludo01170

The controller also serves as a monitor, but with the extra jump start/winch override functions. This is included in the DIY kit.

Answer by: Front Runner

I have purchased this and ready to install but now I am concerned as it says it pushes out 85 Amps continous. My battery in the boot I have to run my camping fridge whilst travelling to campsite is a 28aH Lead Crystal. Once at campsite I switch over to my 280aH battery in the trailer with 4 solar panels. Will my battery be damaged giving it 85 amps continously?

Question by: Chucky

The battery will not be able to accept 85A of charge, so even though the solenoid is rated at 85A and the alternator charges at 80 or 90A, it will not damage the battery as the auxiliary batteries have internal resistance.

Answer by: Front Runner

Can it be used with 2011 escalade

Question by: John Riddle

Yes. The DIY Split Charge System Kit (ECOM028) is a universal kit and should work just fine with your 2011 Escalade. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call.

Answer by: Front Runner

Can the kit be used to install a deep cycle battery for a fridge in a trailer? (to charge off the vehicle)

Question by: Chris

Yes, the National Luna DIY kit can be used as a universal dual battery solution, and will work for the fridge in a trailer.

Answer by: Front Runner

What gage wire does it come with

Question by: Vicor

The kit comes with 16mm power wire, which I believe converts to about 5 AWG
