I have purchased products from ABR and found their service and support very good.

I use Redarc isolators which are Australian made. The support I have received from Redarc has been excellent.

No connection just a satisfied user etc ........
cheers

Have used their isolators and monitors for my dual battery setup and they are working fine............Derek is helpful and quick to respond to any query

I would use ABR again without hesitation

I purchased the flyer kit with the isolator built in last year. I subsequently wrote the hilux off against two trees, complete write off, the second battery blew out of the box, and fridge, although secured, blew out the rear canopy window, most of everything small enough ended up outside. The engine was smashed from its mounts and broke the front diff into two.

So what survived? The isolator and charging thing. I salvaged the mass of wires and last week hooked it up to two batteries and a battery charge and lo and behold the second battery was charging.

So, in my opinion, close to indescructible.

Have bought several things off Derek including heavy wiring which was very keenly priced in comparison to the shops.
Also bought a Redarc which after nearly 3 years is still working fine.

He has been helpful when I have been in doubt as to what to use.
