Battery isolator
One of my daughters friends couldn't get her hydraulic jack to work to get her trailer hooked up. I went to help her and the battery that works it was not charging its on the top of the battery isol...

Its all in battery science now for deep cycle batteries...
If you hit a deep cycle battery with 14.4VDC at around 15AMPS current you can return that deep cycle battery back to a 90% charge state in as little as three hours of charge time...
If you hit the battery with only 13.6VDC at around 15AMPS current it will take around 12 hours to charge that battery back up to its 90% charge state.
When using the DIODE BASED ISOLATOR the 14.4VDC charging voltage will be dropped by .7 VDC which becomes 13.7VDC which will take almost 12 hours again to return the state of charge to 90%.
This is why deep cycle batteries have to use smart relays instead of diode based isolators to isolate batteries from being discharged...
something like that at any rate...
look up how the BLUE SEA SIACR smart relays work...
