Dammit... I KNEW that I had forgotten somebody! LOLIt all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

the borg warner r3098 i mentioned earlier is i'm pretty sure the same one that stinger uses just put's there label on it. It is rated for 200 amp continuous use.

So just go to Kragen and pick one up?G 35 Driver

Thanks. I appreciate the advice everyone.G 35 Driver

I found a PAC 200 amp relay that looks like it may work, is PAC ok?G 35 Driver

You need to find out for sure that it is something related to the amps and rear capacitor before you spend the money on the PAC-200.  Yes Pac products are reliable.

No rear cap, just a battery.G 35 Driver

No - it depends on your setup and desire. But for just charging the 2nd battery, 100A is ok. But if the main battery supplements the aux battery for demand above the alternators "reserve" capacity, then current is (or may be) higher. You battery current capacity is largely irrelevant - it is a function of the load (amp) current. Ideally the alternator is above to supply full load current to keep voltage above battery discharge voltages.

So a 100 amp isolator incorporated into the system would alleviate my woes then?G 35 Driver
