    Do I have to remember to disconnect both each time?
    Or will the isolator do something tricky when one is disconnected?
    I agree that if the main battery is disconnected then an isolator powered by the original main battery should isolate the auxiliary battery so that the only part of the wiring loom alive is the main lead from the aux battery to the isolator. That wire is seen (of course) when one sees the aux battery.

    I guess that are some fools around (especially in dealer's workshops) that would still need to be warned.

    X2 for the kits (and extra bits)

    Thanks Tim.

    I found the attached pics while I was sifting through some stuff looking for something else the other day. I think they may have originally been on a rangerovers.net thread. Can't remember now. Seems that the extra positive lead running away from the rear fuse box wasn't enough of a giveaway that more lurked beneath.

    Might be worth considering, as Daniel rightly points out there are still folk around who need to be coddled outrageously.

    I guess you can never have too much labelling when working with these electrically/electronically sensitive beasts.

    Cheers,
    Iain

    BUGGER

    Hi folks and I just got in and just read Iain’s PM.

    Sorry folks but I forgot to include the battery terminal clamps in the kits.

    I’ll have them in Mondays post.

    I’ll have more on the installation info posted up in the morning.

    As far as the label goes, it is needed with my isolators because unlike other isolators, my isolators keep the batteries connected and if one is removed, the other battery still keeps the whole circuit powered.

    So there needs to be a warning up front, for anybody working on the cranking battery, to let them know another battery is in the system.

    Cheers.

    What they need is a jack to put under the suspension arms, Changed my rear the other day and put a peice of hardwood under the a arm at the back and used a little trolly jack.. too easy

    Never tried to use the stock jack.. but if it dont work then thats bull$hit and we are all entitled to a new one

    Hi drivesafe, got my kit friday as well thanks.

    When you mentioned LED I was thinking of a little display which might show a voltage level per battery. My fault for assuming.

    Do you sell any small led/lcd readouts which show voltages, and can be incorporated into this system?

    Thanks

    I suspect that somehow you have posted this into the wrong thread!
    This is the dual batteries thread and not the L322 jack thread.

    Thanks for that - but a lot of this is 'double Dutch' until we see the kit and the instructions - i thought that you were going to email us the instructions?

    Hi folks and this link will take you to the installation instructions for the new kit, and some time tonight, I will e-mail out the PDFs to those who have the bought new kits.
