![]() I took the included 2ft Ground battery and grounded to the engine block (see image 2)Ĭut more of a hole than prescribed in the directions for the Isolator housing for the entry/exit cable holes I took the 20ft cable and split it, running one for positive and one for negative to Multi meter (for testing grounds and voltages)Īnti Seize for connections (not necessary but very good investment)ġ2v Battery (preferably deep cycle with 100Ah)ġ2v Battery clamps, (see in pic 1/3 in the center of battery) was like $6 at O'Rielly's Auto.įlat head for prying those snap cap thingys. Heat source for heat shrink (i used propane torch) Some kind of Wire cutter, i used a simple wire cutter. Razor blade (stripping 7 gauge wire (or if you're fancy you can buy a fancy smancy stripper)) You will also need more heat shrink tube, just buy a length of it at 6 gauge. ![]() If you do what i did you will need 1x more 6 (couldn't find 7) gauge battery terminal connectors. Product cuts in when alternator is on and cuts out at 12.8v like it says (tested with multimeter). Please ignore my lazy cable management (i haven't completed the build) Install was easy enough, especially if you have experience with audio equipment. I found this out the hard way so don't make my mistake by buying a simple isolator kit and realizing it won't do what you want it to. ![]() It monitors and charges it fully and indepently of your start battery regardless of the alternator output. A DC-DC charger is customized to your auxiliary battery's needs. Some lithium batteries require 15 volts or more to fully charge. When this happens no extra charge is available to your auxiliary battery and in the case of an AGM battery the voltage of 14.6 that is required is never reached. A smart alternator charges your start battery to full then drops off to 12.6 to 12.8 volts until the battery requires more charge. If you have a shunt on you negative start battery post or somewhere on your negative cable then you have a smart alternator and this product will not work for you to it's full potential. I ended up removing the isolator and installing a DC-DC charger from REDARC because I have a smart alternator system and this system won't fully charge my AGM auxiliary battery to full. There is no manual control wire to close the circuit for jumping one battery off the other like some other brands. ![]() The isolator cover has 4 knockouts in the cover to alow wire to go through the sides however none of them line up so you have to make your own holes. The product works as it should and installing it was easy. The positive is only 7 gauge wire and should be thicker but they give you 20 feet of it. Plenty of wire although the ground wire could be longer. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, simply take advantage of the No Questions Asked, 30-Day Money Back Guarantee!!
