battery isolators

[bobo244 10+ year member]

I just got my second battery and was looking around on ebay for an isolator. I have between the differences of them but I am seeing brand new ones from ebay stores ranging from 30-150 bucks. The only difference I can see in them is the max amperage load. I have a 200 amp alt so i would obviously need to get an isolator to be able to carry the 200 amps.

Is there any differences in them or just get the cheapest one that is 200 amps???

all is a isolator is a heavy duty relay.i mean i do not think there is a differnence but just go with an trusted name brand.

I dont use an isolater. I have 2 Kinetiks in the trunk, soon to be 3, and an optima under the hood. I am fine without it.

ther kinetiks work more like a batcap so they do not need an isolator.
