do i need a battery isolator?

ok so i am keeping my stock battery location and putting kinetik 2400's in the back do i need to put a battery isolator in line with them or will they be ok? ive heard people say you have to have 1 and ive heard its just a precaution!

It would certainly be in your best intrest

My dealings in the past is that generally an isolator will not send full voltage to the aux battery. Most were designed more as a trickle charge just to maintain the aux batt. Someone else may have a different opinion but this has been my experience.

I would not use an isolator. if you need to kill power to the back batt then use a very high amp rated circuit breaker. but who needs protection

NO...just parallel it with the front battery.

protection is for the chicks you meet on the street corner man

lmao at sanman!! yeah i figures as long as i wire them up in paralell they should be ok!!

come to finals man and count how many isolators you see ill bet 2

well thats what i am thinkin im at the shows and have never seen 1 but on alot of forums people say oh you gotta have it but most people sayin that are tryin to sell them!!!

no you dont there idiots

like people think a capacitor replaces a battery lol gtfoh

The main use of an isolator is to seperate the front batter from the rear. If you listen to the stereo with the car off, you could run the batteries dead. And therefore not be able to start your car. The isolator will connect the batteries while the car is on and running, then disconnect the batteries when the car is off. Thus allowing you to start you car after running the rear battery dead.
