⚓ FAQs

How do I install a marine battery isolator?

To lessen voltage drop, install the isolator close to the batteries.
Use fuses and wiring that are gauged correctly (for high-current setups, use 150A fuses and 4 AWG cables, for example).
Before installation, turn off shore power to prevent short circuits.

Manual vs. Automatic isolators—what’s the difference?

Switching between batteries with a manual isolator requires user intervention.
Boats with variable engine runtime benefit greatly from automatic isolators, which, like voltage-sensitive relays, activate when the charging voltage surpasses a threshold (for example, 13.2V).

 

💡 Why Choose True®?

Unlike traditional diode-based isolators, True® Smart Isolators use advanced MOSFET technology for near-zero voltage drop, maximizing charge efficiency and battery lifespan. Whether you’re outfitting a weekend cruiser or a commercial vessel, True® delivers peace of mind with every charge.
