Bogan_head Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 G'day guys. Just wondering what battery isolators everyone uses in their setups and your thoughts on these. I am looking at getting a deep cycle agm with a 100amp redarc isolator.
Oldmate Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 I use a natoinal Luna for the battery in the car. It has a monitor in cab with an override button to jump start of 2 nd battery if needed. I also have a basic projecta VSR for the camper Anderson circuit.
Bogmeister Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I have a redarc in the ute and a Matson in the wagon. Both work well. I use little red LED volt meters to monitor all the batteries that I paid about $3.95 each for from Fleabay.
green troll Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 i spent months trolling the web about dbs and found so much b.s. in the end i ended up with a traxide dbs. the owner is on forums everywhere. lots of good info and knows his stuff. and contactable.he has a few versions of dbs and he cant even keep up with orders. highly reccomended
Bogan_head Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Posted October 26, 2012 Has anyone used the projecta electronic 150 amp isolator kits?
P4trol Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 For reasons unknown the previous owner just paralleled the batteries together. Yep, two cranking batteries. I can start it with them reading down to 9.2v Tipsy-tap

I can start it with them reading down to 9.2v Tipsy-tap The reason was the previous owner was a stingy cheap ass. Get/do it properly. I don't think you need to increase the cranking capacity at the expense of getting both batteries flat when using accessories. Cheers
