Doesn't it just!!!
Very similar specs so the basis is the same.
Wonder if it's coincidence or the great big photocopier?

Looks Soooo very much the same. As Tombie suggests that big photocopier has had a workout. Way too much the same even the default settings.
The Intervolt unit does however have a better spec with less current draw in open and closed states, less voltage drop across the MOSFET.
From their web site looks like it has been around for a few years.

Paul, before you do anything else, can I make a suggestion?
Try cutting the thin green earth wire on your SC80, and fit a switch to it.
Then when you know you are not going to be using your Disco for a while, turn the switch off.
As I pointed out earlier, I think you are still going to have low battery problems.
With one of my original SC80 isolators and fully charged batteries, you should get at least 3 to 4 weeks before the isolator turns off. NOTE at this point your cranking battery should still be at 50% SoC ( 12.0v ).
From what you have posted, you are your own worst enemy and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. You do not drive your vehicle enough to not only fully charge your batteries, but also to maintain them in a good condition.
As I have already posted, this is becoming an all too common situation with many vehicle owners, not just Land Rovers, but the problem does seem to by more prolific with Land Rovers.
Whether you change the isolator or remove it altogether, it will not resolve your problem, but it may ease it a bit.
Again, try powering down the SC80 when you are not using your Disco for long periods, and see if it improves your battery state.
