 If you want to work on the KISS principlal, get rid of the Setec. With the BMS1215 and a battery you have a complete sustem. Replace the fuses on the Setec with a new fuse block. If you really want to complicate things and retain the Setec, simply connect the BMS1215 output to the battery.

I hope the Redarc Smart Charger is better than their Brake Controllers.

John, the brake controllers are the only real rubbishy product of theirs I have seen. Collyn Rivers was trialling the BMS, ask him how it went.

I've fitted a BMS1215 into our van last year and so far I'm very impressed with it...

I have personally found the Redarc people more than willing to help. My BMS was upgraded to the lastest specs for nothing, when I simplely asked for advise on it!!! 10 out of 10 for service
