[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8641127, member: 665412"] Are you trying to have the battery isolator isolate the alternator as well as the batteries? The whole idea of it is you can switch the isolator over to one of the batteries with the vehicle off to keep the other charged. With vehicle on they're not supposed to be doing anything and the batteries should be basically in parallel Basically alternator > batt 1 > system and then a cable from batt 1 to batt 2 with the isolator inbetween. The isolator is energized with key on and is closed (connected) with vehicle on. Isolator is open (not connected) with vehicle off every source of power needs to be fused within 18inches, ill let you figure that out. [/QUOTE]
