How True® Lithium Isolator Works?
Once the engine is running and the charging system boosts the start battery’s voltage to 13.5 volts—the SBI's cut-in threshold—the True® Smart Battery Isolator for lithium battery activates. It then links both batteries, allowing them to charge at the same time. A blue glow from the internal LED signals that the system is engaged.
When every voltage source falls below 13.2 volts—the SBI's cut-out threshold—the True® Lithium Battery isolation manager disengages, separating the batteries. The internal blue LED switches off, indicating that the system is no longer actively charging.
When the True® lithium battery isolator switch’s LED indicator turns off, it signifies that the primary and secondary batteries have been electrically isolated. This disconnection prevents parasitic loads on the auxiliary battery from depleting the charge of the start battery.
After restarting the vehicle, once the start battery reaches 13.5 volts—the designated engagement threshold—the True® Smart Lithium Battery Isolator switch activates. The LED lights up, signaling that the secondary battery is now connected and charging.

Why Choose True® Lithium Battery Isolator?
Optimized for Lithium Batteries
Unlike generic isolators, the True® Lithium Smart Battery Isolator is engineered with lithium chemistry in mind. This ensures that charging characteristics match lithium battery requirements — protecting battery health and improving charging efficiency.
Smart, Automatic Voltage-Sensing Management
True® lithium isolators automatically connect and disconnect the auxiliary battery based on real-time voltage levels. They engage when the starter battery reaches a charging threshold (around 13.5 V) and disengage when voltage drops below a set level (around 13.2 V), protecting the main battery from discharge by accessories.
Built-In Surge and Ignition Protection
These isolators include protections against ignition voltage spikes, helping safeguard sensitive electronics and ensuring system reliability.
This delay ensures stable voltage levels are maintained, preventing false triggers and helping protect both batteries during transitions.

Testimonials
I run a 2021 Chevy Silverado with dual batteries, a winch, and a sound system with a large speaker setup that hits hard. Before installing the True® Battery Isolator, I was always second-guessing my setup—especially during long job sites or weekend overlanding trips.
This isolator changed everything. It automatically manages the charge between my starter and auxiliary batteries without me lifting a finger. No switches, no worries. I can run my gear all day and still fire up the truck without hesitation.

Installing the Silverado Battery Isolator was one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my truck. I run a lot of accessories—lights, winch, and a fridge for camping—and this isolator keeps my starter battery safe while powering everything else.
The automatic switching is seamless, and I never worry about being stranded with a dead battery. It’s rugged, reliable, and built for real-world use. I recommend it to any Silverado owner who values dependable power management on and off the road.
