But for someone starting to get there setup sorted. By using my isolators, you would only need a 50Ah auxiliary battery and you would have exactly the same amount of battery Ah available, but with a saving in cost, weight and space.
Even if you already have a bigger auxiliary battery, and you still only use the same amount of power, because the load is spread over two batteries, these batteries are not discharged as low as the original single battery, and this means they will be fully charged in a lot less driving time.
As far as solar goes. If you use the same amount of energy with a single battery setup or with a two battery setup, the recharge time will be the same. But because both the SC80 and DT90 have reverse charging, it does not matter where you connect your solar, the SC80 and DT90 will automatically charge both batteries.
One more advantage with using my isolators. in most cases, when you start your motor, because the two batteries are still linked together, part of the energy required to start your motor is going to come from the auxiliary battery.
This not only helps when starting the motor, but because the cranking battery is not discharged as much as it would in any other setup, again, your cranking battery will be charged in a shorter drive time, and this one feature in itself, is a major advantage for short, around town, driving situations.
As posted earlier, there is a lot to how my isolators work.
