Cheap Dual Battery Isolater

[zookwithdreams]

First of all i have read many many posts and other info on different dual battery set ups and i am convinced that if i had the money i would go for a Traxide SC80 but lack of funds has me looking at cheaper (and yes inferior) products.

which leads me to my question has any one had any experience with or opinions of the Stinger SR80 Isolator that you can get from the states off of ebay and thanks to our dollar at the moment for about the same price as the Supercheap Auto isolators including postage.

Is this just the same as you average silver Isolators/solinoids but in fancier packaging?

Would i just be better off saving my pennys and getting what i really want?

If this helps at all i plan to use it to run a fridge and a light or two for camping and possibly one day if i get a camper trailer have a battery set up in that for lights/fridge etc.

Thanks

Tim

I fail to see how that is the cheapest OR the best.

Hi zookwithdreams, be careful when buying solenoids because there are major differences in the type and use and that add give absolutely no relevant info about the device.

I have a link to info on relays and solenoids on my web site

If you are after either a solenoid or marine battery switches, try my site and there is a 10% discount for Outer Limits 4x4 site members

I think you will find out that wiring the batteries in paralell would be the cheapest option and there are many better DBS out there. In the future dont bother posting up wrong info that i didnt even ask for, it just makes you look silly

Thanks for the reply Drivesafe i know that oils arn't oils but i were hoping someone might know of or had a bit of experiance with these. Their website isnt much help either.

I am leaning towards biding my time and saving my dollars at the moment (and taking advantage of you discount)

Umm okay, I don't feel silly at all nor am i offended at your comment, was just showing you an option that I had used and seen in a number of trucks that actually works very well, very simple and reliable.

Allows you to isolate your batteries if stopped for the night running fridges etc or connect them at will if need be or for charging. More relaable than the more complicated isolation devices I had used previously.

But maybe I misunderstood what you were actually looking for.

Each to their own, good luck with it.

But only as reliable as the operator.

Yes.

Thats good, I worded it in the most non offensive way i could because im not one of those people who feel the need to flame others becuase there hiding behind a computer.

Yes it is simple and reliable (if you remember to flick the switch) just not the cheapest or the best
