Not the one you have.
If you advised ARB this is what you want to do with your setup then take it back to them.............
Have you read my post regarding sales pitch?

CERTIFIABLY INSANE
They're all full of it in one way or another.....
When I was doing mine, I chose the Redarc because the bloke at Piranha flat out lied to me about their equivalent units ability to boost the power to the correct level to charge an AGM.
The next model up did but not the one I was purchasing. Whether it was deliberate or incompetence it helped me make my choice.

Mods: OME 2" lift, 33" BFG KM2'S, ARB winch bar & reconditioned X9 Superwinch, IPF 900 spotties HID conversion, ARB side steps and scrub bars, Kaymar rear step & spare wheel carrier & jerry holder, Rear 55W LED worklight, Safari Snorkel, 147L LRA tank, Extended diff breathers, dual batteries, GME UHF, Home built drawer and fridge slide, ARB 60L fridge.

I am doing my dual battery setup, and are using a Redarc SB1112.
I have most of the wiring in place and are wondering about the start assist.
Being a momentary switch I am assuming that it would not be wise to use this for an extended period as it may burn out the solarnoid.
Would my assumption be correct ??
Thanks
op asked if its ok to run overide?
u said no "its a sales pitch" "jumper leads are more usefull"
i said run it.. "never had a problem in six years".
am i missing somthing?

I must say, all individuals views, recommendations and thoughts have all been well received and appreciated.
I had an idea of what I wanted and put pen to pad with diagrams.
What I wasn't expecting, was this thing called "Smart Start", to foil my plans.
I have mounted the cable in conduit and is along the fire wall.
Havent got a great deal left to do.
I will be posting a thread, together with pics etc when it is finished, and looking forward to those replys too.
Thanks all.

I called B/S on your claim that your regularly drain the cranking battery that low and it last 6 years.
I have never said RedArc products were full of it......actually I think their products are top quality.
I have said you would be better off investing in a good set of jumper leads then heavy duty battery cables linking the isolator.
The fact is, if you are regularly drain your cranking battery that low you have an incorrect setup.
Regardless of who installed it.

I think this is straying a bit from what was originally asked.
@ menis: I think it depends on what you would say is an "extended period"?
I'm planning on using the start assist on my Redarc unit (when I get around to installing it), but only if I can get the second battery under the bonnet (not too far from the starter battery).
Good idea, especially in an 'emergency', as long as everything is hooked up correctly.
Best to try avoid a flat battery in the first place.
My two cents.
