multi battery isolator 70a 1 input 2 battery wiring

Here it is if you have not seen it before. Without having it in hand it's anybody's guess however if you have one of thoes $10 'volt amp ohm' meters just run an ohms test between the leads and if it 'go ' in one direction and 'no go' in the other it has isolator properties.

If they both come up good you should be OK till the isolator comes along. So best deal is to hook up a household charger and observe the 2 batteries and see if one takes longer to charge than the other. so the best one gets overcharged waiting on the weak one. The problem is if you have a sulfided battery or bad one as the alt is trying to charge 2 different batteries as one.

It keeps one battery up while the other drains and then separately charges each battery according to its level and not supposed to over charge the good bat waiting on the discharged one.

SinceI am not camping or anything do I even need an isolator? The wiring is pretty small so I can't imagine the aux batter taking much of a charge from the main.

Is the big fuse the kit came with the isolator or do I need to purchase another part? I am only using the aux battery for a stereo and for driving lights and such. This weekend I installed the BD aux battery kit on my 68 Bay with an alternator instead of generator.
