Amp-L-Start Alternative: The Best Replacement for Your Discontinued RV Battery Charger
Share
Amp-L-Start Replacement Needed
If you’ve been searching for an Amp-L-Start alternative or an Amp-L-Start replacement, you probably already know the bad news: these popular chargers are no longer in production. For years, the Amp-L-Start and Trik-l-Start were the go-to DC-to-DC trickle charger for motorhome owners to keep their chassis batteries charged in storage via the house batteries. Now that these chargers are reaching the end of their service life, motorhome owners need a reliable, modern solution. House2Start was designed to be the definitive drop-in replacement, offering upgraded technology with the same easy installation process.
Why You Need an Amp-L-Start Alternative
When the Amp-L-Start fails, your chassis battery is immediately at risk. These days, new motorhome chassis (Winnebago, Tiffin, Fleetwood, Four Winds, etc.) have high parasitic loads on the starter battery due to all the onboard electronics. Without a maintainer, the parasitic loads in modern RVs will drain your starter battery in weeks. This issue will shorten the life of the starter battery if not addressed.
Why House2Start is the Easy "Drop-In" Choice
The House2Start was created to solve this "product discontinued" problem for the RV community. If you are replacing a dead Amp-L-Start (or Trik-l-Start), the transition is seamless.
1. Identical Wiring
No need to re-wire anything. House2Start’s wiring approach is identical to the Amp-L-Start. Use the existing mounting locations on a solenoid or battery combiner, making the swap an easy DIY project.
2. Modern 4-Stage Charging
While the old technology was a simple voltage follower, House2Start is a true 2-Amp DC-to-DC battery charger. It follows a standard 4-stage profile (Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Storage) to ensure your battery is maintained for maximum longevity.
3. Multi-Chemistry Compatibility
Whether your rig uses traditional Flooded Lead-Acid, high-end AGM, or a Lithium (LiFePO4) house battery bank, House2Start is fully compatible with all input types.
4. Compact "Fit-Anywhere" Design
Space is a premium in an electrical bay. House2Start maintains a small footprint, allowing it to fit in the exact same tight spaces where your previous maintainer lived.
