Battery isolator?

Post by willbrown »

Stupid question, but I have just fitted one of these (the type that you connect to the negative terminal of the battery) and wondered if I need to fit another to the other battery or is one sufficient to break the circuit and stop both batteries draining?

The batteries are two 12v batteries in parallel. Isolating the -ve of one will disable One battery. You need to isolate the -ve of both to disable both.
