Update. If anyone is interested I have a CB516 and CTEK D250SE for sale 😂😂

Thank you Brian. Keeping the CTEK would be my preferred and using the 516 purely for parked up charging every now and again. I don't usually park up with power so would probably be less than once a month and I could just use it as a fall back option. It would just be discovering how well the CTEK will work through the other CBE products. But like you say, it may be worthwhile selling both and getting the 516-3 and actually pocketing some extra cash. Just the hassle of selling and rebuying I suppose... Thank you

Good morning, First time posted and no idea how I haven't found this forum before! Only when searching CBE related issues has it come up! I bought a CBE PC180 kit a couple of years ago. This features the CB516 (not the latest -3 version), DS300, DS120S etc. I never got round to installing it as life got in the way but I am now. I also purchased a CTEK D250SE at the same time as I didn't realise there was an inbuilt split relay within the CB516 and I thought it was it was just for 240v shore power. My questions are two fold I suppose; Should I sell the CTEK and just use the CB516 or is the technology and charging on that a bit old hat now? If I decided to keep and install the CTEK for my alternator charging (and maybe solar later on) will this work and play nicely with the CBE kit? Both the control panel and other relay? Or will they somehow cancel each other out or get confused? I've tried searching using the CB516 with other smart chargers but haven't found too much about it. I'm running AGM batteries. Thank you!
