They stay connected together, giving you the combined capacity of both batteries to run everything, until they drop down below 12.7v for 1 minute. When it sees your cranking battery above 13.2v for 2 minutes, it will automatically link them together so the aux battery can be charged. It is designed to protect your cranking battery from being drained by your accessories. Our kit uses the Cole Hersee smart isolator. This is going on a 2017 DCSB Off-road AUTO. Oh and I am set on a "split" system for weight distribution over to the passenger side and better durability to my poor fender. Thank you in advance all knowing Tacoma World and if there is another option I'm not seeing please let me know. I also like Adventure-Ready as a company as they seem active and innovative in the Overlanding industry and I appreciate a business that does that. I realize Trojans and a few other higher end batteries are better but when one fails it's nice to have options. I'm also looking for advice on batteries, I've had good luck with Duracell AGM batteries and as I've mentioned in other posts I like being able to warranty a battery nearly anywhere in this country. I'd also like pick your brains about the possibility of an onboard charger, for a place like Overland Expo where my truck may sit for a few days I can run my 2000i Honda and keep things topped off? This will allow me to keep a basically stock electrical system which is electronically isolated from all the other things (lights, fridge, charging devices) My thought is I'm going to retain the stock battery location for an upgraded AGM that will still only serve the truck, and the second battery *hopefully* a slightly larger deep cycle will be run directly to a switch-pro and than everything thing else will go off of there. One of these uses BlueSea equipment the other RedArc, is there an advantage to either one? $775 w/out batteries (slightly smaller Yikes)īoth use the same trays which to be honest is the BULK of the cost of these things so while building it myself is certainly an option I'm looking at a huge cost to buy the components anyway so I might just buy the kit and be done with it. This one from offgrid engineer which is $850 w/out batteries. I have found two options that are "off the shelf" they are as follows. As I'm going through the ordering process for my new adventure build I decided my electrical requirements present and future will likely be better served with dual batteries.
