so i've been researching this for a while now. who  has the best dual battery relay kit out there to add dual battery's to a GL syncro that is has one battery setup. I see all kinds of "kits" and just wondering who has the most inclusive kit--you know--the most bang for the buck. I wanna get duals going in my new syncro so I can potentially be on werkin vacations (need to power my mac laptop). I know I would be up at any resort right now waiting for the lifts to open since its dumpin snow as we speak. any advise is welcome--and i'll order it up today

I agree, a proper relay setup is the way to go for most people. Cheaper,
simpler, less intrusive, no wiring mods needed in the engine
compartment... If you break down on the road, a bad alternator can be
replaced with a standard part from any FLAPS without any warranty
voiding mods being needed to install the new one...No need to keep a
portable soldering iron along so you can modify replacement
alternators..

Ok, adding fancy electronic gear is sexier so the isolator wins that
one.
It also wins on the exaggerated sales drivel and scare tactics.
Use our $$$ isolator product instead of a relay or your vehicle might
EXPLODE IN FLAMES! With your family or passengers inside no less.
