Should I get rid of my relay??????????

[Korn4Life 5,000+ posts]

I have a 200 amp Stinger Relay that I use to isolate my rear batteries when my car is turned off. I heard that you loose voltage by running these. I havent really tested to prove this but just wondering if I should just keep it in since I already have it or take it out,,, Does taking it out benefit me that much?

My Setup is a Stock Alt goind to a Stock Battery upfront then 1/0 going to the relay then out to 3 Stinger SPV70 batteries... Soon to be 4 Stinger batteries and a Red top or Yellow Top under the Hood.. Thanks for the Help

Hello/

From what I remembered,from what I've seen posted,a *Battery Isolator* would do that and not a *200/Amp Relay/Solenoid*.Ive read that from Installers on other Forums.

I had [still Have] a White/Rodgers[it's a Brand] 200/Amp Solenoid hooked up previously on two batteries,and have not had any Issues at all.

Hope that helps you and good luck w/your System/.

Regards/

Raymond

Make sure you get the yellow top, or comparable DEEP CYCLE... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would get rid of it.They can cause slight voltage loss.

With the amount of batts you have there is no point of having an isolater
