[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 563101, member: 57235"] A battery isolator is a solid state device that allows both batteries to see the output of the alternator and thus maintain a charge when the engine is on. The two batteries are "isolated" from each other , inasmuch as battery B is independent of batter A ( as long as they are not connected through a common load). This way, battery A is free to start the truck, run the lights, etc. without having any affect on the state of charge of battery B. It is usually used in a manner where battery B is used to operate equipment, not attached to battery A, when the engine is off. Situations that might occur when camping, using voltage converters to operate AC equipment (tools, etc.). It can also be used in a mode more suitable to your situation, as a starting reserve battery, if your main battery runs down. This site will give you some idea about them. There are many other manufacturers. I include this site for info only. JC Whitney and others sell them as well. [/QUOTE]
