Replacing the Battery Isolator with a continous duty solenoid

Post by Safaritoonces »

This project shows how to replace the battery isolator with a continuous duty solenoid. This removes an electronic diode system (the isolator) and uses the existing boost solenoid in its place. In the event of failure of the alternator the generator can be run to supply power to the chassis batteries. (this can also be done with the isolator). This project also describes replacing the echo charger with a battery tender.
