Purplehaze Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Okay, so I just installed a new Stinger 200 amp dual battery isolator, 2 new Kinetik HC1400 batteries, 190 amp alt, all new 0 gauge, with all stinger circuit breakers. My front battery is charging, but the rear is not. I'm not sure if I should have ran a wire from the alt to both batteries or not??? I thought that would defeat the purpose of the isolator(relay). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here is the link to my build, in case you want to see how its wired or anything.

dereileak Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 honestly, I would return the battery isolator, I mean there good if you don't want to have one battery run down so you can start fine, but according to nathan, the XS Power guy on here, he recommends not to use battery isolators, no need for them, just make sure you save enough juice to start your car 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments)

I was thinking the exact same thing, really no need for it. Think I'll take it off tomorrow. Thanks again.
