I disconnected this cable for a few minutes and the solenoid isolator did not shut itself off anyway. The right side terminal on the isolator is connected to the positive top post stud on my aux battery, and the left side terminal on the isolator is attached to the positive jump post on my chassis battery, with 1 gauge cables.įrom the negative top post stud on my aux battery to the negative jump post on my chassis battery I have a 1 gauge cable run.The manual does not say to connect the aux and chassis batteries together directly with a ground cable, but for jump starting purposes this cable is needed. I am using a yellow top Optima battery for my chassis battery, and a blue top Optima battery for my auxiliary battery. This is the solenoid isolator I have, model 48525, 85A. The status light on the solenoid isolator is on indicating the solenoid is connected and both batteries are connected together thus they are trying to equalize with each other. With Schottky diode, to comply with Federal Spec.And I am certain it's the solenoid isolator, but I can't figure out why. Used to isolate medical equipment batteries from vehicle batteries. Use with alternators that do not have integral electronic voltage regulator With Schottky diode, to comply with Federal Spec. For example, the 48051 with a rating of 75A has a per leg rating of 37.5A per leg. All Littelfuse Cole Hersee brand battery isolators have a per leg rating equal to half the alternator rating. Integral heat sink provides efficient heat dissipationīattery isolators have a 'per leg' rating which indicates the maximum current it can deliver to either battery.
