W used SO cable because it's available, cheap, and is easy to use. Dan connected the positive red battery terminal directly to the CTEK service battery connection see picture. We connected the negative terminal of the battery post to the common ground post on the CTEK. This Quickbox RV battery box is adjustable. About the cost of a cup of coffee. Assorted Fuses, Harbor Freight or Amazon. Never hurts to carry extra. Temco Crimper Tool at Ebay.
Makes the job easier. The quick connects makes it easy to charge all my vehicles. A few of the key benefits include a patented de -sulphation process that removes sulfate from the lead plates. This may extend battery life. A battery diagnosis that shows if a battery can receive and retain a charge. A special reconditioning function restores stratified and deeply discharged batteries.
We took the van on a 5 week 8, mile cross country camping trip. Thanks for the informative article. But what year was this written? My cost is for the dual battery isolator and does not include the battery.
I changed the text to clarify this. Thanks for pointing this out. I have a battery monitor that tells me the voltage of the house batteries.
My Renogy solar charger also tells me battery voltage and percentage charged. Here's how it works. Firstly, the unit's "smart" technology ensures that the available amps from your vehicle's stator maintain the primary battery. The second battery connects only after reaching the right voltage threshold.
Suppose the combined system does drop below the disconnect threshold. In that case, the isolator disconnects, making sure your main battery is always fully charged. By not needing a link to the ignition or the charging source directly, this kit will not infringe on most rig's warranties. Having UTV accessories that increase your ride quality is a big part of the offroad excitement.
You can get what you want when you want, without bogging down your battery. Posted By: Nathan Tiemeier - verified customer 2 people found this review helpful This is a fairly simple device to set up wrong.
The only thing everyone should know is that all accessories need to go to the accessory battery, not the primary, otherwise the device is useless. Was this rating helpful to you?

Posted By: David Beyer 6 people found this review helpful Would have been excellent, but the cable connections for stock RZR XP were to small a diameter to fit Polaris battery post bolts. Cut cable and and put new coppers ends. Other than that install went smooth!

True dual battery isolator , March 25, Posted By: Kenyon 7 people found this review helpful This was an easy install for the most part. Being prepared is a vital part of any successful off-road adventure.
The farther off road you get, the more important it becomes. For example, a dead battery is already an inconvenience when you have to call someone for a quick jumpstart. The alternator also recharges the battery; typically, the battery itself only provides accessory power when the engine is off.
The thing is, the electrical demands of trail-friendly trucks and SUVs are hardly typical. Consider the effect of a common off-road tool, like an electric winch. These are usually connected to the battery, so even if you use one with the engine on, the battery is being drained.
But keep in mind, thanks to those pesky laws of physics, it can take more than a few minutes of charging to make up for a few minutes of winching. Dual-battery setups typically use two different types of batteries: a starter battery and a deep-cycle battery. At its most basic, an automotive dual-battery system, with the batteries connected in a parallel circuit, essentially doubles the amount of electricity you have available.
Think of it as comparable to adding a larger gas tank. While a parallel circuit can, for instance, keep the lights on longer without the engine running, one battery after another will each eventually go flat if there is a constant energy drain.
If so, a manually switched dual-battery charging system is likely the right choice. At your destination, you throw the switch the other way, disconnecting battery number two from the system and using it for power at the campsite.
