So long as its at the Battery end... :)

you only need two isolators if you have a cable going from battery 1 to Battery 2 in a two battery split charge system


Exactly, as close to the battery as possible. And the winch solenoid as close to the winch as possible :)


yep.. don't want that 50mm2 cable acting like a fuse!

fully agree about using top quality gear too but I think this red and gigglepin stuff is overpriced 'because it can be' buying proper specification stuff rather than cheap sh1t from China/ebay will prevent something nasty happening!

Overpriced. maybe :)

I just haven't found any isolators/solenoids with same specs that are much cheaper. I use a 2500 AMP/10 sec battery isolator solenoid for my winch. This isn't any cheaper :)

Looks like a really good set-up.

Does the odyssey battery fit right in, or did you need to alter anything?.

ORA made me a custom mount for that battery very cheap and good quality just need a coat of laquer and paint. Took the plastic tray out and grinded off the lips of the original tray and bolted the new one to the original one. Then re mounted the fuse box to the side of the new battery cradle. Looks smart lots of making new bits of cable up bit well worth it

That pic hasn't got the lid across the cradle on
