Vic I looked at the Renogy DC to DC charger.
Would that be instead of the Isolator?

Vic,Vic Harder said:Frank, any DC-DC charger will replace the isolator, and/or rather make the isolator inoperable. This is a downside of the DC-DC charger as it won't allow the solar panels to charge the truck battery. (although rando has posted a workaround using a relay and switch that bypass the DC-DC charger if wanted).
Oops, didn't see that he said truck battery.ntsqd said:Not so much that it won't allow charging by solar panels, but that it won't allow charging of the truck battery(ies) by the camper's solar panels. It is a one direction charging device, not a bi-directional device like the later dual sensing ACR/VSR's are.
That's intriguing. Too bad I chucked my old 1314a in the garbage a while back.....ntsqd said:Occurs to me that an older, single sensing ACR/VSR wired in parallel with the DC-DC converter and biased towards the truck batteries would allow automagical solar charging of the starting batteries while not interfering with the DC-DC converter's charging of the camper batteries.
