does this unit isolate the starting battery

It has two separate charging systems one for each battery. It will show you the status of each battery. It has a push button switch on each side to select the type of charging you prefer but I let the whole system choose the charging system for each battery which is automatic. Takes about 24 hours for full analyzing and charging both batteries at the same time and however that also depends on the age of the batteries can take two or three days.

Yes if you want it to. Since it has 2 isolated outputs. You can use one on the starting and one on the trolling. Or both on the trolling. It depends how you wire them up.

If I understand your question correctly, it charges the two batteries hooked up to it independently. If one doesn't need charging then it doesn't charge it while charging the other which needs charging. I have two of these each hooked up to two batteries. When I plug in at the slip, the indicator lights always show which batteries have been drained and are being charged, others, if not or lightly used immediately go into maintenance mode.

I agree with Hugh & Dean. This Charger charges and monitors each of two batteries independently, so yes, one could be your starting battery and the other battery could be for accessories or trolling motor.

I am not sure what you mean by isolating the starting battery. This unit powers each battery separately (of course, if you have have batteries in parallel, it will charge both with one line) So if you had your starter battery separate from your house battery, this will have a separate charging line going to both, so they will be isolated. Does this answer your question? Pat Robinson

Yes. The two batteries are charged and controlled completely independently. One could be a flood and one could be a gel. Great product.

Under the scale you should see a plastic pull tab, pull it out. It separates the battery from the battery terminal, thus keeping your scale from turning on and arriving at your home with a dead battery.

Yes. It has a programable battery selection process during start up. Sealed or wet.

The only thing I was able to find online was that it will taking starting amps without a problem and since it's a battery isolation solenoid it can take continuous duty.

If you have the unit wired to your parking lights,they will light up a few seconds after the doors are unlocked with the remote. Yes the start button is separate.

This is a "startup only" device, it will reduce startup current of the compressor during the first second or two, then is disconnected from the circuit.

I have not had to use the Choke with the battery start, but all my starts have been during mild weather months. I anticipate that using the generator during the very cold Winter months may require the assistance of the choke to start.

It connects directly on top of your battery terminal and the back you connect you existing cable. When you unscrew the green knob, the power is cut from the battery to the vehicle. Very simple. If you are leaving your vehicle for any length of time, you might consider a "battery tender" to keep the battery from going bad over time without the vehicle being run.

No. A battery isolater is technically different and includes electronics internally to isolate the batteries. This is nothing more than a switch and is actually PREFERRED over isolaters. You will also need proper battery cables to wire up a dual battery system.

I did not see an isolation switch on the unit to isolate the USB power from the Batter Power.

What this switch does when the key is turned to "on" is complete the circuit from a battery to whatever it is you are powering. So, yes, I suppose it could work as a security device to prevent a battery from powering a circuit, such as the starter motor on a vehicle, if you removed the key and the switch was located somewhere that was not obvious. I have not tried it, but I think that even without the key one could easily rig something to complete a circuit, so having the unit in a non-obvious location would seem prudent.

no it does not as I have started it inside my camper, but you can start it farther with remote if it is in sight like maybe 30 or 40 feet away.

No, it does not have a remote start. I might add that it does dependably pull start usually on the first or second pull though.

No. you have a built in charger in your unit and it will top charge the battery in case it is a little bit discharged.

I have never had to start the car. It works just fine just from the battery.

Yes, it has a set of two 12Volts connections. One is specifically marked to be connected to the starting battery. The owner's manual says it IS ignition protected, and I assume the ignition protected extension is the starting battery one. Anyway, before starting the motor I allways disconect the 110Volt supply cable so as not to short the charger. Starting motors amount to a brief short circuit to the batteries, and I dont want to transfer that to the charger, protected or not. Regards

This unit does not have that circuitry as far as I know. The unit only allows charging to both batteries with the engine running. If your cranking battery is below the minimum charge to crank, you're S.O.L. If you install a switch to redirect the current of your aux batt to your starter then you are golden.
