Hi guys and gals,

Following on from advice from this forum I have just finished fitting a dual battery system with a Redarc Isolator beween the start and aux batteries to my 3 l diesel Hilux..

All seems to be working well, however the isolator gets pretty hot when the vehicle is running. Is this normal?

For those interested the costs (in Canberra) where

Battery tray from Supercheap $16
520 cca battery (the largest that would fit the engine bay space) $139
Redarc Isolator (the cheapest price I could find in Canberra) $180
Battery cables $70
Homemade battery hold down clamp, 6 pack

Cheers
