We do very little mileage and our journey times are short. We very really get stuck in traffic and at most 2 or 3 sets of traffic lights. Having a battery to battery charger on board makes very little difference to recharging our leisure battery on the way home and/or back to work.At the end of my working day a few days ago, my battery monitor told me I had used 21% of my battery capacity (drawn ± 22 amps. I did move the van a couple of times in the street, but doubt that did anything for recharging the leisure battery.) I drove home the 5 miles and the alternator had reduced that to 18%. So I have to put my leisure battery on charge every night when I get home.If I don't, my battery will be flat within a few days.</blockquote>
