Hi all,

The next addition to the white money pit is a dual battery setup.

USAGE - unfortunately I don't get away for weeks on end, more like 1 week at a time but mostly two or three days. Want to be able to run the 45L Fridge Mate, camping lights, future water pump, and charge electronic gizmos (perhaps low wattage inverter for charging camera etc).
Eventually I would like to get a camper trailer so a couple more batterys, solar and so on.

Plan to get a 100ah deep cycle battery (not sure what type, need to research more on that)

My main dilemma is do I need a Charger such as Redarc BCDC 1240 @ 479 (includes cables etc) OR will an Redarc Isolator of some sort at quarter of the price suffice?


I know there there many advantages for/against each system but given my intended (and possibly future) use, will the extra hard earned dollars spent be worth it?


Regards,
bignev
