  • Ideal for automotive, marine, and RV applications
  • Enhances your alternator performance for
    • Efficient charging
    • Maximum power
    • Longer battery life
    • Safer operation
  • Protects main starting battery from auxiliary drain
  • Regulates current for multi-battery system


Specs:

  • Application: alternators with amperage ratings below 120 amps
  • Capacity: 120 amps
  • Overall dimensions: 6-1/2" long x 4-1/2" wide x 2-1/2" tall excluding bolts
  • Quantity: 1
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Note: It is recommended that you purchase an isolator with an amperage rating above that of your alternator to prevent any damage to the isolator.


In a multi-battery system, the battery with the lower state of charge will drain power from the battery with the higher state of charge. This battery isolator protects your starting battery power so that no matter how weak your accessory battery becomes, the accessory battery will never drain power from the starting battery. This battery isolator also saves time by allowing simultaneous charging of both batteries. The amount of current flowing into each battery is determined by its state of charge, which guarantees that each battery will get fully charged, prolonging its life.

We always get a great product from Etra iler.

Ordered by phone with Gwen and Stacy's help and elected to pickup the battery isolator in Wentzville, Missouri. Price was great and it has a one-year warranty. Within an hour or two they emailed it was ready. Pickup was also quick and professional. Item is an exact replacement for the 25-year-old failed part in terms of form, fit and function. Installed without rewiring or drilling and is working great! This could not have been a better experience!

While it was a challenge to put it in our motorhome, once installed, it works perfectly. It appeared almost identical to the original one I removed on our 1996 Road Trek.

Thanks Etrailer for fantastic service!

  • How Does Deka Battery Isolator Get Wired?
    When installing the Deka Battery Isolator - 120 Amp # DW08771 you actually do not tap into the ignition systems. Instead you will run the wire from the alternator to the A post on the Isolator, then run a wire from the number 1 post of the isolator to your starting battery, and another wire from the number two post of the isolator to the secondary battery. Since the alternator will only have power with the vehicle running, it is what keeps you from needing to tap into the ignition system. This...

  • How Does DEKA Isolator part # DW08771 Attach to Two Batteries
    I attached a diagram that shows how the DEKA Isolator part # DW08771 that you referenced needs to get wired to a vehicle with two batteries. Basically the center isolator post gets the alternator connection and then position 1 goes to the battery that cranks the vehicle starter and position 2 goes to the auxiliary battery positive terminal. The fourth terminal of this would not get used. The fourth one is the one with the smaller diameter threads.

  • What Size Fuses/Breakers Should be Used when Adding a Second Battery and Hidden Power Battery Mount
    Provided that the fuses you want to install are rated for the amount of power that will be running to/from the battery you will be good to go. If you were to use fuses or breakers that are rated higher then that could allow for an overload condition before a fuse blows or a breaker trips. It also depends on how you have it set up. If the second battery is being fed from the main battery then you wouldn't need to have a high-rated fuse or breaker. If the alternator is feeding it then you...

  • Parts Needed to Install Additional Battery in Truck for Truck Bed Camper
    You will need a battery isolator like the Deka # DW08770. This will install by running between your alternator and your truck's current battery. Then the second battery will run off the isolator as well. If you need a 120 amp isolator use # DW08771. For an install kit we have # DW08769.

The battery isolator will allow both two batteries in your 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup to charge at the same time and will protect the starting battery from being drained by the accessory battery.

    The Deka Battery Isolator # DW08770 is not vehicle-specific; it will work fine on your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado to protect the truck battery from excessive discharge and to regulate current in a multi-battery system. If your Silverado has a CS alternator you will use installation kit # DW08768. If it has the standard alternator use kit # DW08769. You can tell if you have the CS130 alternator by checking for its external fan with serpentine belt pulley. I have linked a wiring diagram for...

  • Replacement Battery Isolator Solenoid For 2019 Jayco Precept Prestige Motorhome
    It sounds like you're trying to replace the battery isolator solenoid. This is what allows the starting battery on your 2018 Jayco Precept Prestige to charge the house batteries when the engine is running, but keeps the house batteries from draining the starting battery when the engine is not running. For a replacement you'd need the Deka # DW08771. If you mean some other kind of solenoid just let me know what it's doing, but this should be the only solenoid you have.

  • Is a Battery Isolator Needed for 7-Way Wiring Installation on a 2003 Acura MDX
    A battery isolator is not absolutely necessary to keep your trailer battery from draining the battery on your 2003 Acura MDX. However, installing a two battery isolator like part # DW08771, would allow you to keep the trailer connected to the vehicle for long periods of time without the vehicle battery draining. If you do not choose to install an isolator, you would simply need to unplug your trailer connector when you are parked. I am including a link to some information on installing...

    It sounds like you are asking if you can use a battery isolator to protect the battery on your tow vehicle from the generator while powering items on your trailer. If that is the case then yes, the Deka Battery Isolator part # DW08771 will work for you. However, I doubt you will be drawing anywhere close to 120 amps so you would most likely save some money with the 95 amp version, part # DW08770.

  • How to Charge Up a Trailer Mounted Battery While Driving
    The 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way trailer connector is not adequate for charging up a trailer mounted battery. At best it can maintain the current charge in the battery assuming nothing is drawing power from it. Solar power takes a very long time to charge up a typical 12 volt car-type battery so it will need a little help to charge up the battery. Take a look at the DC to DC charger # 331-BCDC1225D. With this unit you can actually charge up the trailer battery while you drive. It has inputs...

  • Is Circuit Breaker Needed When Wiring Deka Battery Isolator # DW08771
    When wiring up the Deka Battery Isolator # DW08771 the main/first battery will connect directly to position one on the isolator without the need for a circuit breaker. The second battery though should be attached to the second position on the isolator via a circuit breaker that is rated appropriately for the battery. The alternator will go to the A post on the isolator. I have attached a diagram that you might find helpful as well. You should not have to worry about the second battery...
