Do I need an Isolator???

[REAudio2001 10+ year member]

Hey,

I am about to hook up my rear batteries, and I was wondering if I would need an isolator. I have a everstart maxx up front, and will be installing 3 C&D technologies 134AH in the rear. I have already run 4 runs of moster 0 guage via conduit under my car. I have both positive lines fused after the front battery and before the rear batteries. I do not plan on playing my system with the car off. I just do not want to have any kind of electircal problems, or have my car not start. Also how does an isolator hook up if I need one, as all my wire is in conduit and not really accessable. Thanks in advance!!!

with 3 batteries in the back, i'd run an isolator.

Well how exactly do isolators hook up , because if they have to install on my 4 lines from front battery to rear it will be tricky!!!

Personally I would just get rid of the everstart. The 3 other batts have plenty of juice to start the car and this way you don't need to bother with isolators. Otherwise I would suggest getting a solenoid for just the front batt.

get rid of the everstart and cram another C&D upfront then no isolator needed. would be best if all matched down to the lot date to do it right but same and new O well.

thanks for this link. I cannot fit a C&D battery under the hood unless I get a smaller one, but then they will just be same brand, not same size. Sucks all my wire is in conduit under my car, so good luck to me lol
