Battery isolator relay cole hersee6/14/2023 I can tell it will be as good as the forum I’ve belonged to forever for my synthesizer (I’m a musician………well, no wonder he doesn’t get this stuff). Thanks to all here for the knowledge and patience. Is there any problem starting the van while hooked up to shore power, or does the isolator protect from any issues? (sorry if that is a stupid question that only indicates my lack of understanding, but if the shoe fits….) (on the other hand, this van I bought is a ‘Mercedes’).ĥ.Ĝould you explain what the “Cole Hersee 24213 does? I see it’s a continuous solenoid, so I guess it opens and closes the circuit in order to turn the power flow off and on from the alternator? How does it do that? Does it sense when the alternator is running and putting out a charge?Ħ.Ěs the Stinger SGP32 isolator and the Cole Hersee solenoid are about the same price, what’s the benefit of one over the other, if I'm not planning to top off my starter battery?ħ.Ěssuming I still go with Rollerbearing’s wiring diagram: So I just want my alternator to top off/charge my house batteries when driving.Ĥ.Ĝalbiker, my wife agrees and thanks you for your comment: “The guy's looking for a VW Bug and we're trying to sell him a Cadillac”. That’s correct, and is why I went with the Tripp Lite unit, as it seemed to simplify the setup, and hopefully keep me from making a stupid/tragic mistake…….”keep it simple stupid”.ģ. Rollerbearing stated “I am assuming he selected an inverter/converter combo on purpose and intends to occasionally use shore power just as you would/might. I don't see that as a big worry anyway.Ģ.Ěssume I’ll be using the Tripp Lite combo Inverter/Charger I mentioned at the start. I think I’ll stick with NOT having shore power mess with my starter battery (to avoid the “different technologies” problem). So based on the conversation (hey, my 2nd post and I already started a healthy conversation!):ġ. Just want to plan ahead and try to learn some things so I don’t get in a bind down the line. I just bought the van a couple days ago and am still cleaning it out. As to what I have so far for equipment, appliances (coffee maker), etc,….nothing. Four 9/32" (7.2mm) diameter mounting holes.Terminations: three 5/16" (7.9mm) studs & one No.10 stud.Thus the 48162 with a rating of 200A has a per leg rating of 100A per leg. All Cole Hersee battery isolators have a per leg rating equal to half the alternator rating. A 4-stud battery isolator can be used with older pattern alternators (in this case the 4th stud will remain unconnected), but a 3-stud battery isolator cannot be used with the Delcotron-type alternator.īattery isolators also have a per leg rating which indicates the maximum current it can deliver to either battery. The newer alternators were first introduced by Delco and are therefore sometimes called Delcotron-type alternators. The small 4th stud is for connection to a circuit switched by the ignition switch. Most alternators on new vehicles have an integral electronic voltage regulator that requires the use of the 4-stud battery isolator. The amp rating of each item is the maximum alternator rating. The integral heat sink provides efficient heat dissipation. The electronic components are embedded to give excellent protection from adverse conditions, such as contamination and vibration. Use general purpose battery isolators for 12-36V DC negative ground systems. In addition, both batteries can be charged simultaneously from one source. Battery Isolator For vehicles with two batteries, these devices electrically isolate the batteries to prevent the battery with the higher charge from draining into that with the lower charge.
