True or Blue Sea add a battery for isolation of 2nd battery. In the planning stages right now and looking for plus/minus of each system.
Thanks

True. I bought my kit at the Club Store. Works awesome.

Will the True use any current in standby or when not in use monitoring both batteries?

I’ve had a True in my P1-5 for 5 years now, never had any issues. I also installed a True in my P520. I purchased from the Club Store also, I just bought the isolator because I had wiring left from the kit I bought before.

Go with True, I bought the kit and did the install last week. It was easy and simple, if your gonna be in electrician mode then go ahead and a fused bus bar and stinger solenoid.

I have the Ture and no problems. Get the dual gauge to see what is going on.
1st photo is key on.
2nd photo is engine just started.
3rd photo is both batteries connected.

Good job DIRTBILY, looks better than mine.

I think you would be fine with either. I went with the BS because I wanted the ability to turn the batteries off completely or to force them to lock together.

True would definitely have been an easier install.

Thanks took a couple of evening to figure it all out on where to fit everything. The wiring was straight forward
