![]() ![]() If the starter circuit is inaccessible, the installer may use the Violet wire which is an alternate trigger using ignition switched system voltage from an accessory port. The purpose of this circuit is to insure the Alternator’s regulator excites at vehicle start-up. When triggered, the user will note a four second delay between trigger initiation and alternator excitation. The preferential alternator excitation trigger is initiated when the Orange wire is momentarily connected to the engine start circuit typically tapped at the starter solenoid, or the wires leading to the starter solenoid. When system voltage (12 or 24 volts respectively) is applied, the MOSFET array located between the Main battery (cathode) and Alternator input (anode) is pulsed on while concurrently sensing if the alternator is generating voltage. Included on every POWER-GATE Dual Rectifier are two different alternator excitation triggers for ultimate installation flexibility. POWER-GATE is recommended by top battery manufacturers to insure that DC power gets to where it’s needed without the excessive heat, voltage loss, and amperage loss typified by more common, lesser performing silicon and Schottky devices built on large aluminum extrusions. Dual rectifier dual battery isolators are fully encapsulated using an aerospace qualified silicone elastomer specifically developed for potting electronic modules and inserted into polycarbonate enclosure well suited for hostile environments. Ultra-low on-resistance means devices require no heat-sinking and no airflow at full continuous current. Two dedicated alternator excitation circuit options ensure hassle-free integration with internally regulated alternators, “smart” alternators, and computer controlled alternators. ![]() Dual rectifiers are commonly deployed in dual battery isolator configurations where each battery may be discharged independent of the other.Ī common problem with conventional “marine” or “RV” diode-style isolators (aside from performance issues related to the obvious voltage drop and associated heat) is dealing with an internally regulated alternator. DC current will flow from the alternator to the batteries, but current will not flow between the batteries when discharged. Ring us to talk about it.Ī dual battery/dual rectifier/ dual battery isolator has all the same outstanding performance characteristics of a single rectifier, but provides discharge protection for two batteries two, one-way electrical valves in a single package. We manufacture dual battery isolators with firmware specifically designed to operate in harmony with newer Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 computers.

Plan is to run 2 normal wet cell, non agm non deep cycle, batteries wired in parallel for higher amp 12 volt system.Īll electrical wired off main battery and second wired directly to main. going into 1987 Toyota with 22re and whatever low amp alternator (65 amp?) they use stock. I don't plan on using one for backup jump starting purpose, just for more amps for winching really. I'd rather not run an isolator simply to save on wiring and buying the thing.īattery banks on our trucks at work are wired 4 batteries in sets of 2 for high amp 24 volt systems without an isolator and just a main kill switch. I have a second good battery from a scrap truck and was thinking about tossing it into my crawler this week. So, I'm cheap an haven't found much except that MOST folks seem to run isolators on their dual battery setups. ![]()
