Re: Battery Isolator

A lot of motor homes just use a continuous duty solenoid as the battery isolator for the coach batteries.

The ones I worked had the trigger wire wired through the ignition switch with a toggle switch in between so they could only be engaged when the key was in the run position. The toggle switch was so you didn't have to charge them if you didn't want to. A good Cole -Herse solenoid runs between 30 and 40 dollars depending on where you buy it.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
