How heavy would you use?

*heavy*, Skippy! I think I already said that.


C'mon crotch cannibal, that was a question. How *heavy*? Or is it beyond
you to answer? Look if ya don't know(seems ya don't) roll over, give the
Idiot a slap on the ass wake him up and ask him.
I'm sure by now you've done some research and have some sort of a answer,
don't ya troll boy?

*WOW* your replies are getting short!
There were several points worthy of further discussion, where did
everything go???

My first answer to Big Al wasn't "profound" enough for you. Why don't you
elaborate on it a bit?

You probably, no, *definitely*, should comment on my assertion that
connecting a 12V car battery to a 12V motorcycle might not be a good idea.
Do you agree, or disagree, or have any thoughts at all? Tell us!

How about the parallel battery setup that I called a poor design, Dodge
does that don't they? I haven't seen Dodge's dual battery setup
personally, but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned here. And I don't
recall ever seeing any negative comments about it. If it's as I think it
is, then I just called it LOUSY, and nobody wants to comment? What do you
think about it, Skippy?

Well, took ya some time to get cleaned up.

Still didn't answer the question.

Apparently you don't understand the function of the relay in this
circuit or how it works.
There is no "this circuit".

Big Al described this:
"You need to isolate the trailer
battery while the truck is cranking."

And you're going on to describe something *entirely different* below.

Quote:
When the truck is parked and the ignition is switched off, the
batteries are isolated from each other preventing the vehicle
battery from being discharged from electrical usage in the
trailer. i.e., the relay is not energized, there is no direct
positive cable connection between the two batteries.


Two batteries in parallel isn't the best setup either. The weaker
battery will draw the stronger one down to its level.


Won't happen. The only time the two batteries are connected
together is when the tow vehicle's engine is running via the now
energized isolation relay, if the engine is running, the circuit
voltage to both batteries is higher that the static open circuit
voltage of the batteries, the batteries are now being charged,
there is no "weaker" battery. Differences in internal resistance
between the two batteries will cause the battery with lower
resistance to draw more current, but that is the only difference.


This may not
matter much with a popup camping trailer that sees only occasional use,
but is a poor design when two or more batteries are always tied together.


The batteries -aren't- always tied together. the only time they
are tied together is when the engine is running and they are
being charged.
You should endeavor to learn how a properly connected isolation
relay works. (assuming that you can find time in between calling
people names)
Boo-hoo.

Sure there is. OEMs have been making them available for tears.

Then you don't care about what I replied to, because that's what I

"You need to isolate the trailer battery while the truck is cranking.
Otherwise the trailer battery will try to help feed the starter. You can
use a relay connected to the radio feed, the radio goes off when
cranking." - Big Al

"When the truck is parked and the ignition is switched off, the
batteries are isolated from each other preventing the vehicle
battery from being discharged from electrical usage in the
trailer. i.e., the relay is not energized, there is no direct
positive cable connection between the two batteries." - Neil

Is the ignition switched off when cranking? Um, no, better not be.
So then, you have the batteries connected while cranking, and Al has
them isolated at the same time. Are you both talking about the same circuit?

You claimed that in "this circuit" the only time they are tied together
is when the engine is running. But Al has them tied together whenever
the radio will play. Is that the same thing?

You don't really care about what Big Al said, so you'll just ramble on
about your circuit instead. Go ahead...

No, if I took it the wailing I'd here from you would be too much to bear. I
also remember all the work you did to get it. Look how it kept you occupied
this past week.

That damn car was fantastic on the drive both way's. It let's you move
through traffic and change lanes instantly. Gotta love all the HP and
instant response. A very comfortable car. Only problem with it is the crap
in the cooling. Mike was going to look into it from his end. Oh, I warped a
set of rotor's as well. Had to hit them hard at about 80mph a few times then
I started to get the shimmy at high speed applications. But there is a tsb
out on them. I guess they replace them with the slotted rotor's used on the
07's

That's quite the crystal ball you've got there.

Is the ignition switched off when cranking? Um, no, better not be.
Is the engine cranking when the ignition is switched on?
Does the word "ignition" describe just a circuit?
Does the word "ignition" describe a switch which has multiple
positions and/or modes of operation?
If the component in question is installed in a Diesel vehicle,
must we now call it a 'compression switch' because Diesel engine
don't have an ignition system?

If a thick headed person is shown to be wrong, does arguing
semantics bolster his position?

Quote:
So then, you have the batteries connected while cranking,
I never said I would connect the relay to an ignition feed.
I only described the state that a particular switch was
positioned to.

What circuit? According to you, there is no circuit.

Quote:
You claimed that in "this circuit" the only time they are tied together

Can you think of a way one might have an advantage over the

Had nothing to do with your "machine". I gotta tell you tho, the ole JD
hasn't missed a beat so far. Everythings been running good so far, got about
a hundred acres of beans to finnish up next week. Looking forward to a bit
of a break.
