![]() ![]() I think a perko or blue seas type selector switch or a VSR are both great as long as you know how to use and wire them. I haven't heard of this happening though. You would essentially be back to to a one battery setup. The only way it would leave you high and dry is if somehow the contacts in the realy welded together and the relay never disconnected the batteries. The best part about the VSR is it takes the guess work out of if and seperates the banks automatically so you can spend less time f'ing with a switch and more time relaxing. If you are going to use a VSR like the sure power just make sure you treat it like a stereo bank and a starting bank instead of a primary bank and a backup bank. When the boat is running the batteries will combine and charge together. Basically when you turn the boat off it would be like disconnecting the batteries. Then all you have to do is run a small negative wire to the negative on one of the batteries. Basically you wire the batteries in parallel with the VSR(at least a sure power) inline on the positive side, between the 2 batteries. ![]() A voltage sensing relays isn't really a complicated idea and would be super easy for you to install if you want to keep it the simplest possible. They generally cause a voltage drop of 1 volt, meaning your batteries will never see a full 14.4V like they should. I would stay away from an isolator if you are talking about a traditional diode based isolator. See our entire selection of battery management products.
