Hello. First off I want to thank everyone who took the time to advise me on this issue. All of the advice that I recieved was enlightening and helpful and allowed me to reach this course of action: I will remove the lousy dual battery isolator and feed it to my parent's Chocolate Labrador Retriever who has (in her short doggy existence) aquired a taste for electronic devices by chewing up no less than 5 TV and VCR remote controls! (Now to change the channel they have to pull on her tail!) Having done that, I will install the big fat relay in it's place, so that I can manually isolate the deep-cycle battery when required. Thank you again, Noel Leavitt Oh I almost forgot, how do you guys like my latest ASCII drawing (below). Yeah, yeah I know..I have too much free time! If you wish to use it, all I ask is that you please leave my name on it. :) VOLKSWAGEN _--````--_ / _--````--_ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ '81 Vanagon Westy | | \ \ \/ / / | | '68 Sunbug Autostick | |\ \ )--( / /| | (named Vana) | | \ \/ /\ \/ / | | (named Rachel) \ \_\ / \ /_/ / \ _``----``_ / ``----`` 1937--1997 . ____-----`````--_ / ____----```` ._ `-_ `-_ / ___---```-_ -___ `-_ `. `. `-_ / _-`-_-_```/ `.-_ `. ___ `. ` ` ____-. / _- -_ `.`.`` `.`.-_ - ____----````` __\ /_- ! `. `.`. ___...`.___----```` ____-----```\\=\\ _- ! `. `.,--```` \ ____----````| | \\=\\ _-(\ ` `. / ___---``||| | | | | \)=)\ . \\ ` //`|` ||| | | | | ____----```` ' |\ `.\ `. `. // | ||| |___'---' ``` ____-+-` | |\' `\ // ||\ ___-'|'-`` _ ___'----```` ! | ||::. `. /(___-/)|``` __|__---`(_)` ! _ | [|`::@:. `/ | __\|---`==='| _____ ' _.--```\='_;.
