![]() Then use another piece of the wire to ground the negative cable of the car's battery to the frame. Crimp on 2 electrical connectors that will attach BAT to A. Then, cut a piece of the 14 gauge wire so that it fits between the alternators BAT terminal end and the end that is marked with an A on the battery isolator. Be sure that they are secure and tight when you are hooking them up. This is where all of the wires from the BAT terminal that you just connected are going to go. Look for the terminal on the isolator that is labeled 1. All of these wires will need to be disconnected. Next, check for the wires that are attached to the BAT terminal, which will be located on your alternator. Then, take the negative cable from your actual car battery and remove it. Keep in mind during this step that you have to disconnect the negative cable before you attach the positive terminal to anything so that you do not get shocked. Once you have hooked up the isolator you can do the actual wiring. Again, hold it on tight so that you can secure it completely flush with the frame. Carefully drill around the isolator attaching it to the frame with the sheet metal screws. You may want to have another person help you with this step to hold down the isolator securely as you drill. Be sure before you do any installation or securing that you can close the hood with no problem and that all other parts work without disruption. This is typically done in the engine compartment and needs to be hooked up to the actual metal part of the vehicle. Now that you know whats going on under the hood, you can install the isolator. Then, once the car is ready to be worked on, you will want to check out the manual just to familiarize yourself with everything that is going on so you know where to look. You do not want to be working in it and then burn yourself or cause any electrical damage. ![]() Then, allow the car to cool completely for about 20 minutes or so, especially if you were just out driving. This is an extremely important step so that you do not do any damage to the car and more importantly, to yourself. Using this system, your alternator is protected, the batteries are protected, and most importantly, you and your family or passengers are protected.Begin by making sure that the car is turned off. Each battery can then determine the amount of current that flows into it by its own state of charge based on the voltage regulator setting. When an alternator is charging, the current can only flow in one direction, from the alternator to the batteries. When current is drawn from battery #2, the check valve stops current coming from battery #1. So no matter how drained your accessory batteries become, they will never drain power from your main engine battery. Each battery is isolated and becomes an independent power source. The Sure Power isolator serves as a check valve between your batteries, stopping the current from flowing from one battery to the next. Includes (1) Sure Power 2 battery isolator, installation hardware, and instruction manual.Operating Temperature: 199.4-degrees Fahrenheit to -40-degrees Fahrenheit. ![]() Use with an 80A circuit breaker (not included).Also works with GM light trucks (1986 and up) and "P" series RV chassis (1987 and up).Battery isolators make sure you are never stranded with a dead starter battery. Prevents auxiliary power from draining the starter battery. ![]() Sure Power battery isolators eliminate multi-battery drain when 2 or more battery banks are in a charging system.
