This device uses alternator output to sense cranking battery fully charged, and electronically connects it in parallel to the trolling battery. Engine off terminates the connection.
Would this not have a detrimental effect on the cranking battery?
from the BPS catalogue:
"Housed in an easily installed 2" x 3" x 1-1/2" package, this XPS 12V Phase Charger senses when the alternator output indicates that the crank battery is charged, then an internal 4-amp relay connects the troll and crank batteries in parallel so that the troll battery is charged while the motor is running. When the motor is turned off, and the alternator output is no longer present, the parallel circuit is opened and the troll and crank batteries are isolated for use. All operations are automatic after installation."
