I just had my son install your True® dual battery kit and two more isolators to link all of my extra batteries to the main engine’s charging circuit. I now have 5 batteries that automatically hook up to the charging supply provided by the two engines. The dual battery kit supplied us with ample wire to complete all connections; we only needed to acquire a couple additional cable ends. He expected it to take the entire day, but he finished by midday, so of course we had to go fishing to test it out. We ran for two hours offshore before running all of the gadgets and equipment, including the television.
My son watched the True® dual battery isolators and examined the automatic charging of each batteries. When we were done fishing, the charge in the supplementary batteries had decreased to 12.1 volts. The primary batteries were at 12.8 volts.
We returned to the beach and tested all five batteries, which recorded 12.9 volts with the motors turned off. While the engines were operating and all fishing boat battery isolators displayed indication lights, the voltage at each battery was 13.4 volts.
It appears that it was a huge success, and I do not have to remember to flip the manual battery switches. We’ll get a chance to put them to the test next week when we spend two nights offshore.
