I dont want to go a manual system, i want a fully automatic system. What do you guys recommend as being an ideal kick out voltage for an isolator? I liked the fact that the isolator kicked out at 12.8v, but am thinking 12.4 would be low, especially on cold mornings trying to start a diesel engine> Working Voltage: Having Voltage Sensitive Chip,Rely Cuts in at 13.3 Volts and Cuts out at 12.8 Volts to Ensuring Primary Battery is Always Ready for Vehicle to.

Mastervolt Mass battery chargers and Alpha Pro charge regulators are standardly equipped with automatic voltage drop compensation. 0.6 V) can be compensated for by adapting the output voltage of the connected charger or alternator. The dual sensing automatic charging relay has on unit mounts to prevent rattling. Although this connection will stop when voltage reaches a certain point (typically when a 12-volt battery is charged to 13. Mastervolt’s BI battery isolators are based on conventional diode technology. This voltage sensitive relay ( VSR ) is an automatic charging relay for dual battery systems. These batteries require independent charging with reliable battery isolators or battery combiners. Advanced Dual Battery Isolation with Override Switch - Allows Reverse Charging. I have done a search around at isolators, would like to replace it with the latest version of the sidewinder db140 but the specs seemed to have changed, the kick out voltage is now 12.4v? Do you think that is too low? BI 703 Onboard systems usually consist of two or more batteries that function independently when powering the 12 or 24 V consumers. These results indicate that the isolator needs replacing. The specs state it kicks out at 12.8v and kicks in at 13.2v and used to do this, but after a few flat batteries i decided to test it. We recently installed and began testing the Battery Doc isolator from WirthCo Engineering ( ). Electronic Isolator System A fairly new entry to the battery isolator field is the smart isolator. When the lights were switched off, the isolator kicked back in straight away. A 70-amp isolator will set you back in the neighborhood of 50 or more. Conventional diode isolators incur a minimum of 0.6-volt drop. Should any voltage be under 13.4 (no load), exceed 14.1 or after charger is shut down, voltage drops. I tested this using 2 multimeters -one on continuty over the 2 isolator terminals, and the other multimeter on the main battery showing volts, read the batt voltage as the cont beep stopped. True dual smart battery isolator setup has no volt drop. Check voltage of batteries after 24 hours of charging. I have a sidewinder db-120 isolator and it has served me well but i feel it may be getting tired, it is a few years old now and has had a hard life! The voltage kicks out at around 12.16v (tested this morning with multimeter) and basically kicks straight back in again.
