Terry,

    I have two 17 amp/hr sealed batteries and one alternator.  Each 
battery has it's own relay, and switch on the panel.  If I get a low 
volt light (which comes on within seconds of the alternator going off 
line), I can simply switch one battery off if I want to isolate it.  
That way both batteries get full charging voltage, as opposed to 
charging through a diode with it's resultant voltage drop.
