It would be a good idea to upgrade the alternator to at least 70amp.
Buy the autoleads PC-30 (i think) which is a 120a relay designed for split charging.

Just take your old one to an alternator specialist and get it uprated. The relay is about £30

i think i paid about £35 for the whole kit, including the relay, wiring, connectors, fuses and heat shrink. Got it from motorworld, HTH.
