Painless Wiring - Dual Battery - Digital Power Manager?

[geo.greg]

Anyone have thoughts about the Painless Wiring Digital Power Manager dual battery controller / battery isolator?

I mounted my battery bracket frame, and started researching isolators and ran into this.

Was looking at Luna National, but thought that this new product seemed to have a few interesting features.

Check out the Auto Charging Relay kit from Blue Sea. It's about as "painless" as the Painless 40120 kit, costs the same, and is a bit more intelligent.

FWIW, I have the Painless 40103 kit, but not yet installed. It is basically the same thing as the 40120, but it includes a switch that lets you manually decide when the auxiliary battery is brought into the loop: 1) Never, 2) Always, 3) Only when the Ignition is turned to ON.

There are also some good threads and some good info in the Power Systems subsection, here on ExPo. This thread is a good one.

That's a good thread referenced above - I found it very helpful to sort out the different systems out there when I was researching which product to go with. I went with the IBS system - good deal from Sierra Expeditions and it was a painless installation. Here's my dual battery install for pics... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47916
