Exactly bruz.  :cheers:

I know I won't make the Kimberley trip and Marks story makes it hurt even harder. ;D

I thought my VSR was playing up as my AGM was low in voltage so I bought a new one.
Found out it was my crank battery died and wasn't getting up to full charge allowing VSR to close n charge AGM.

That's not how VSR's work. Once the system voltage reaches a set point (alternator output, not start battery charge), the VSR joins the start and aux. The two batteries are charged concurrently as one big battery, not as separate batteries.

Just saying.....
