BADMOPAR Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 Hey Guys, I want to add Battery Isolator to my 2 Batteries set up. I need to advice which Amperage I need, how to calculate it and which type is better for me. https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/978xx3/screenshot/1024x768/
ToNasty Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 are you positive that you even need one? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
BADMOPAR Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Posted March 29, 2013 Yes, I am. Sometimes I'm working on my CarPc in my garage, reading repair manuals, downloading new music or movies from my home NAS etc.
snafu Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 That diagram shows a simple continuous duty solenoid. This is a good idea for the reasons you outline. I offer three choices, a 100A, a 200A and a 500A (same price as the 200A, I just haven't gotten it up on the web site yet . . . ) You can view them here - http://www.ceautoelectricsupply.com/relaysandsolenoids.html - towards the bottom of the page. I can also build you anything you may need to interface this to your vehicle, etc. As you'r a pretty new member, you may not know that we offer SMD Member a 10% SMD Member Discount.

BADMOPAR Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks for your offer snafu. I'm not decided yet if solenoid or diode type is better. What you guys think?
snafu Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 You lose between 7 tenths of a volt and a full volt with a diode based isolator. BITD, we used them because we didn't know any better. Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
jumpshowhigh Posted March 31, 2013 Report Posted March 31, 2013 Or you go with a Perfect Switch battery isolator which is solid state without the nutty 7 tenths of a volt.....it's just awesome.

BADMOPAR Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Posted March 31, 2013 There is one more problem to solve. I'm very tight on space. I need to redesign my battery holder first and then I can choose the right one.

Do you have some pricing or where to get info?
