This device was just mentioned on the Sprinter list:
How it would fit into the stock EVC charging circuit is another question... it's always something!

I think that batteries (after maybe oils and tires) are the costliest
"expendable" components of our EVCs! Anything we can (within reason)
do to increase their performance, dependability and service life is
worth exploring. If the stock onboard charging system for the EVC
coach battery is incapable of properly charging a AGM (which is
otherwise probably a better battery for that job) then it is
important that we know about it.
I have to use a electrical medical device every night (a CPAP) and
I need to know my coach battery will work the way it is supposed to!
I was thinking of replacing my standard wet cell deep cycle battery
(which has been weak lately) with an AGM, but now I am not sure. I
was planning to also put a solar recharging panel on my pop-top, but
I assume I would have to put some sort of isolating device to the
coach battery charger - that whole circuit is a bit confusing.
If we can have 400+ messages on ATF replacement, then 50 or so on
batteries is not too much ;-)
