But I have dug into it kicking and screaming the whole way!Keep talking... you will be there in no time.
Hahaaahhh.

Got ya... that makes sense. But it seems to me you’re basically just wiring them in parallel then with the new isolators.I dont think they have always been like that tho. I know from v15 on has. We are on v18 now.
A battery is considered "charging" above 12.7 volts. As long as one (not both) is above this threahhold they should remain connected.... i think!
Once one drops to 12.7, it pulls opposite direction until both are at 12.7 for [x] seconds. Then the isolator opens and stops the bridge. Thus isolating the 2 batteries from each other.
This is what TrueAm has said about it anyways.
Yes. Thats the general purpose of all isolators. With a auto disconnect.Got ya... that makes sense. But it seems to me you’re basically just wiring them in parallel then with the new isolators.
Yes.. It just seems that there’s less isolation between them with the newer isolatorsYes. Thats the general purpose of all isolators. With a auto disconnect.
But its not.Yes.. It just seems that there’s less isolation between them with the newer isolators
So … you don't know me very well....
So in other words.
Just hook it up and dont leave your key on.
There is NO solution for leaving the key on.So … you don't know me very well.
I resemble that remark!!!!!😅😅👍👍There is NO solution for leaving the key on.
You can only hope
1 - you don't have your relays(stinger) set to key-on, or currently turned on.
2 - you catch it before both batteries go dead.
3 - you have a jump wire so you can pull from the second battery if its not dead.
Got that @Pilot2016
But its not.
Battery resting voltage is generally 12.7 or less so it disconnects once both voltages reach this point. +- few seconds.
If you are drawing off a battery. The second will support the other in either direcrion ONLY IF it is receiving a charge or currently is overcharged [12.8v+].
All automatically.

He’s saying when the machine isn’t running, your engine has to be running to get 14+ volts.did you just say battery resting voltage is generally 12.7v? if that is the case it's almost time to get a new battery. a fresh 12v battery will usually weigh in at 14v+.
Correct.He saying when the machine isn’t running, your engine has to be running to get 14+ volts.
