cheers Andy... iv done quite a bit on those forums etc... its the reason i committed to this charger, I couldn't afford the "morning star" or "sterling" stuff (well I could... but I refuse to)
I just came on here to confirm I would get away with jumping the built in rectifier on this model

the problem with the intelligent split charger (as I see it) is the lack of voltage, you only get what the alternator gives you, 13.4v I think it is in my van... I need the option to push up the volts to 14.8v and hold it there for however long it takes.
