REFLECTOR: Battery Isolator

[Brian Michalk]

I'm using a marine battery isolator from West Marine.  Seems to work 
okay so far.  Not flying yet.
I voided my warranty by opening it up to see the guts.  Simple 
comparator circuit with time delay which drives a relay.  When either 
battery is being charged, they are connected together.

A person could easily make one, but for the $50 or so, it's not worth it.

We use the solid state ones at work, and they seem to work okay.
