A measurement over 0.2 volts across the terminals indicates the isolator relay is bad. Depending on the alternator and its charging controller, you may simply incur the loss in voltage and get less to both your car battery and rv battery, or, your alternator will adjust for the loss and bump its voltage output up 0.7 volts. 2)putting 120 volts to the external plug in the house battery voltage doesn't go up from the 12.3 volts. Ignition-switched solenoid: These battery isolators work on the same principle as the. If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts. Battery isolator (or split charge relay) allows an auxiliary battery to be charged by the vehicle's system, yet not participate in engine starting. At the right you can see that the voltage is 14.3 volts. The EMER START switch also worked correctly to energize the solenoid. 10 gauge wire just doesn't cut it when trying to charge the battery. Did not touch the purple or red/purple wire on the alternator, did not attach anything to the "E" terminal on the isolator. The Solenoid Is No Solution For Multi-battery Drain! Any tests you can suggest to help isolate where the problem is? The charging source knows it is supposed to maintain 13.2+ VDC. Shut the truck off, and you still have an isolated battery if you need that. There are two main types of battery isolators: the diode isolator and the solenoid isolator. My AUX battery is isolated with a simple relay. But the solenoid people say the isolator can prevent your batteries from fully recharging (voltage drop across the diodes), and can shorten their lives of the batteries.
If one small terminal, it will 12 VDC positive from the ignition switch (to close the solenoid). A voltage-sensing or "smart" isolator would have the isolator's coil (#86) controlled by the voltage sensing circuit. Shane from Genesis Offroad explains why the solenoid on the Cole Hersee smart isolator gets so hot, and if you should be concerned about it. take your multimeter and measure from the + of the main battery to the relay in, across the relay and relay to aux battery +.
#Big boy battery isolator relay making noise generator#
Thread starter 89 allegro Start date The friendliest place on the web for anyone with an RV or an interest in RVing! 3)running the generator the house batter doesn't go up from I've learned a lot while reading some of yall's posts, but haven't been able to figure out my problem. Keep in mind during this step that you have to disconnect the negative cable before you attach the positive terminal to anything so that you do not get shocked. That solenoid will not cause an over charging of the battery (s) as it just controls the distribution to one back likely. Well first off, I have used a battery isolator, back in the day, for the regular truck battery in the front, and the dedicated stereo battery in the back. Once you have hooked up the isolator you can do the actual wiring.
One is what is the max current that the alternator will put out to charge totally dead batteries.
