This puts the isolator in SHARED Mode and while the motor is off, will allow your Optima to back discharge into your cranking battery and help to charge it a bit more, after each drive.

Hi drivesafe

Is the in-cab module a new addition to the kit? I've had my Traxside kit in for maybe 6-8 months & only have the module under the bonnet..

Cheers Rob

Hi Rob and it depends on which isolator you have.

The SC80 is still the standard isolator it always has been but I have been supplying the new USI-160 isolator for about 18 months now and it is still a case of which isolator you get for what operations you are going to use it for.

The SC80 is still the best isolator for fit-n-forget set ups.

The USI-160 is intended for vehicles where electric winch operations are going to be carried out.

Fit & forget is what I must have.. I've managed to run the cranking battery flat while running the stereo for hours while working on the car. Tried to jump start using the 2nd battery & it didn't work. Every so often, especially if I've been doing a lot if short trips around town I'll put my charger on the cranking battery overnight..
