Happened across a ad for a Dual Battery Isolator which keeps both batteries of a dual system charged up from the same alternator while keeping the batteries separate.
Running an PC-680 , on occasion I’ve had my sky-tech starter turn over slowly to the point of killing the battery and not being able to start the engine. Is there a way or has anyone installed one of these isolators along with a second battery and a manual battery switch so you can use one battery but always have a fully charged backup battery. There’s only about 100 hours on the sky-tech but I’ve ordered a new solenoid switch for it just in case the contacts are bad to cause slow operation. All the cables and connections are clean and tight. Also have dual P-mags so hand proping on a dead battery is useless. I know about the 9volt battery trick with P-mags but just don’t want to hand prop especially if stranded alone somewhere.
