Jordan Kushner Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 answer me this. what shows are you going to that requires you to have your car off while playing music? is your car all fiberglassed inside and the custom work cost you like 30 grand or something? is it one of those shows where there are like hundreds of people that are going to be staring at your interior? if not, then you have absolutely 0 need for an isolator. literally that little ass battery will keep your stereo alive for under an hour. if that. I am not required to have the car off? I just like to sometime so Im not burning up fuel you really need to be playing music in your car for the entirety of the show? Can anyone explain this to me. If I have a big battery to power the system. What will power the car and starter?? The only reason I'm getting 2 batteries is because I want one for the system and one for the starter. if both batteries are hooked together, both will start the car, and both will power everything. just letting you know, again, that installing a "switch" or whatever, will eventually destroy your alt so plan on buying new ones. It wouldn't be a switch. I was thinking a button that would transfer power from one battery to the other. I am not sure if I should do it though.

Then all I would have to do is push the button and my car would start from switching batteries. It wasn't my idea! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't my idea! lol okay...theres really no such thing as a button that can balance out the charge of the batteries, which would essentially make them both semi-discharged and kind of defeat the purpose. or a button to switch batteries. at least from what i've seen. what you're talking about is a BATTERY ISOLATOR. google it and what it does. take that capacitor out btw. its useless in your case. and dont say you like it cause of the pretty lights and colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it does nothing. No point to take it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 it doesn't do "nothing". it's just another draw on your electrical system most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
