Ahh, I think I see. Under normal conditions, the TV sends DC to the TM charger, and thus to the battery. In your installation, you're removing the hot lead from the TV to the TM's charger, and connecting that wire to this thing instead, so the TM charger does nothing through the Bargeman, but will still charge the battery fine through 120V AC. This device will directly charge the battery independent of the TM converter/charger, but only turns on when the bargeman is connected to the TV. And, the upshot is higher Amps for charging the battery from the TV.

If that's it, it's quite a clever solution, and for a single battery setup like mine, could indeed make a non-electric site a possibility, as the recharge time at idle wouldn't be too outrageously long (I'd hope!).

Something to think about, for sure...
