Battery Tutorials and Isolators...

Someone just posted a great question on the ISIS Power forum on our website.  He asked how to connect ISIS into a dual battery system using a battery isolator.  This is a great question that raises a very important point about battery management. 

We spend a lot of time educating our customers on good practice with batteries.  Remember that they are perishable commodities.  They need to be cared for and fed properly to last.  Simple things like keeping them charged properly will get you years of dependable life out of them. 

The question on the forum raises an important safety and reliability issue.  Lots of guys will add a second battery (or more than that) to a car because of their current load.  Connecting these batteries without a battery isolator can actually shorten the life of the batteries and can be unsafe. 

Sure Power is one of several companies that make battery isolators for safe management of multiple batteries in an electrical system.  They published a great primer on batteries, charging systems and safe system management.  It is a very simple read that is very informative.  Check it out at this link
