Having enough battery power is essential to any efficient system, especially when giving demos. There are times however where you may want to conserve power, in which an Isolator can be very helpful.
In this video, JP gives us some helpful tips on when to use an isolator. You can also check out our Down4sound LTO Lithium Battery at down4soundshop.com in the link below.

Using a Heavy-Duty True battery isolator provides several benefits for truck with auxiliary battery Reliable Battery Management: Automatically ensures the starting battery is charged first, then charges the auxiliary battery, preventing the main battery from draining and ensuring reliable engine starts​ (True Battery Isolator)​​. No Voltage Drop: Unlike traditional diode isolators, True isolators have no voltage drop, maintaining optimal charging efficiency​ (True Battery Isolator)​. Dual Sensing Technology: Monitors the voltage of both batteries and engages charging for both if either battery is receiving a charge, which is particularly useful when using external chargers​ (True Battery Isolator)​. Durable and Compact Design: Built to withstand harsh conditions with features like waterproofing, heat resistance, and anti-vibration casing, ensuring longevity and reliability in various environments​ (True Battery Isolator)​​ (True Battery Isolator)​. Easy Installation: Simple three-wire installation without the need to bypass existing alternator wiring, making it user-friendly even for novice installers​ (True Battery Isolator)​. Cost-Effective Solution: Provides a budget-friendly way to manage dual battery setups effectively, offering long-term savings by extending battery life and preventing failures​ (True Battery Isolator)​. Safety Features: Includes ignition protection and operates within a wide temperature range, enhancing the safety of your vehicle’s electrical system​ (True Battery Isolator)​. Overall, the True dual battery isolator enhances the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of a dual battery system in various applications, from trucks to boats and RVs.

I run one due to having a hybrid car. Don't have to worry about damage to the hybrid system or the hybrid battery. When the car is running it charges the reserve batteries at 14.4. It also keeps the car from throwing codes due to the stress of the system showing too much amp drain from the system running.

The best time to run a battery isolator is when you are running a lead acid battery AKA standard starter battery under your hood and you are running Lithium or AMG batteries in the trunk due to the fact that they like to fight over polarity and voltage when they are ran in conjunction with each other without some kind of break up when they are just sitting idle with no charge being added into them or drain

@@patrickpatrocinio8171 you can but they just end up fighting for voltage and wearing each other out because of the chemical makeup of them and due to the amperage draw to keep them charged.

I wouldnt play a system with the car off and not charging because I heard that low voltage can make the amps start to clip and can cause damage to your subs. Again this is what I heard. It's pretty much common sense that you want to supply a steady charge to the batteries as you use your system. It probably gets more critical the more intense your system is.

Here's a tricky question to a situation I am having and can't figure out. What would make car voltage spike when the stereo is playing full tilt and bass turned up? The voltage drops like normal and spikes to 15.6v plus instead of stopping back at the charge voltage of say 14.4. It only does it with rpm above 1000 and works normally at idle. I'm running a Mechman 370amp alt that has been tested and modified to one wire turn on by Mechman, Sundown Salt-2 on 2 DC Audio Level 3 10s and an Xs power D4800 under the hood of a 2015 Silverado. Could it be the amp?

I would contact Limitless. That is what I did cuz i was thinking about going lithium. I emailed them and told them what year, make, modeI, engine size my car was. Along with alternator brand, how many runs of power wire, amp brand and wattage on subs and mids and highs. They replied within a day or two and was very informative. You also need a specific lithium battery charger. In the end i decided to just replace my old agm batteries with new agms. For me the higher cost of lithium along with all the extra equipment was 2 much for my wallet.

Depends on the cell. LiFePo4 rests at like 12.8v but the YinLong LTO banks have a higher voltage and its (i forget exactly) but 15-16v range. Some people will run the LTO banks and turn up their charge voltage on their alternator to 15.2 volts but you can really only run those cells if its LTO. But the LiFePo4 cells a bank of them rests at 12.8. Im looking in to building my own LiFePo4 banks with Headway LiFePo4 cells.

isolator amps should equal alternator amp output or higher. So if you’re running a h/o 370amp alternator, you should “ideally” run a 370amp isolator. They don’t make one that size that I’ve seen so you should run a 500amp isolator. The bigger relay style isolators I’ve seen only come in 200 and 500amps.

Well... Battery isolator is a awesome idea, headache starts when you start thinking if you can mix types of batteries and how. Multiple batteries setup is expensive and no one wants to waste the money and wondering why my AGM or lithium are dead so quickly? Bad brand or quality? No . With isolator NEVER mix types of batteries, that's shortest explanation. If you wanna use lithium org AGM as a spare source, you need more intelligent second battery charger. Sorry, this is only stupid battery, but unfortunately some how become like a rocket since. Find a professional, pay money and have a happy life.
