Simple Battery Isolator Diagram ?
using a simple battery isolator... 2 batteries, one alternator. want to isolate one battery so it wont discharge in reserve for starting. I would like the option to be able to combine batteries in case of emergency so would like to use my existing battery selector (#1/both/#2) switch for that. I find diagrams on line but without the combining option.
Yeah, I can figure it out, but I imagine someone has this done.
and yes I know the pitfall is the alternator only senses one battery for charging.
