islandpride684 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 If they are 2 types of diff batteries then run a isolator, if not no need for one....the isolator just prevents one battery from draining the other, but since the car will be running then no need for an isolator....just don't play with the car off if you wanna read up on isolators http://all-about-lead-acid-batteries.capnfatz.com/all-about-lead-acid-batteries/lead-acid-battery-management/how-battery-isolators-work/ Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarter1885 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Isolator not needed really, why not just switch the front battery as well?

Carbon Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Unless your planing on playing your system with your vehicle off until the battery dies, you shouldn't need an isolator.I would only use one for a marine application, Sucks to be dead in the water.

reedal Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yes, it will. Will the better battery have a diminished life over time? Yes. But as a daily driver, it really won't matter. You'll be fine. It'll still have a few good years, and you can have the battery load tested as often as you want to keep track of its ability to perform.
