Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8294 Registered: Dec-03 | it's an advanced version of a battery isolator. it allows you to run up to two dedicated batteries for the audio system while keeping the starter battery isolated from drainage by the stereo. I use one in my car. They retailed for about $500 new. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1632 Registered: Feb-05 | Since im upgrading to a 200 Amp HO alternater i dont see why i whould need this. I dont listen to my system with the car off. Dont see why i whould need this. That is why im selling it. Only thing i may use is a batcap 800 with my 2 amps that i have now. The batcap wired directly to the crossfire vr1000d acting like a backup cap/battery or nothing at all. |

Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1430 Registered: Sep-04 | I don't understand this statement: Enables the stereo system to draw off all batteries when the engine is running How is that possible if your alternator is providing all your vehicle's electrical needs when the engine is running? At anything above 12.5 V the batteries are in a "charge" state and don't provide energy. They sink it. Don't make sense unless they mean when your alternator can't keep up(provide 12.5+ V) and if thats happening a lot I see many dead alternators in your future. Maybe you could explain this one Glass. -Fishy |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8322 Registered: Dec-03 | well, batteries are in parallel with the alternator but the MBR70 works like anisolator except that it has priority charging for the starter battery, then switches to the audio isolated batteries when the starter battery is fully charged. that's all really. the manual pretty much explains it |

Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1431 Registered: Sep-04 | So I guess all it really does is charge your starting battery first and makes sure you don't kill it when the engine's off. Still, thats a pretty useful deal. -Fishy |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8334 Registered: Dec-03 | very useful if you run the audio system with the engine off.. which is what it's for. that way you can have two big batteries in the trunk for the audio system, and they never draw off the starter battery, so you can start your car later... even if ya run the stereo into the ground. When you do start up the car, the starter battery is recharged before the stereo system batteries to ensure your car will run, more importantly than the stereo system. I use mine in keeping with my old school orion theme, and to isolate two yellow tops for the stereo. |
