Battery Isolater concerns
there appears to be a new type of isolater which is voltage sensitive. it allows charging from both sides alternator or converter Clicky alot of people talking about matching batterys, but wh...

AGM's are Lead acid.
I would avoid any voltage sensign relay that is dual sense.
I'd avoid single sense relays too, especially with solar, as the surface charge would keep both batteries parallelled for a while anywhay after driving, and with solar in daylight the solar will keep them paralleled until sundown, perhaps more.
My AGM is also full charged resting of 13.06v, and thus if used as an engine battery, on that particular unit, be slightly cycled, unnecessarily.
There are likely several dozen voltage sensing relays out there by many different manufacturers.
I'd much rather have a dumb continuous duty solenoid triggered( with optional inline illuminated switch) by the ignition, and preferable triggeded only after engine start, instead of Key to ON.
