Subject:Battery/Invert Questions

Hey all -

I too have the optima that I've never been able to fully discharge -
(though I haven't really tried) - it's on the standard dual
installation on my 85 GL.  Apparently these are in series.  Someone
told me that an optima with a normal battery in series is not the best
setup.  Given that I already have the optima in.  Is there a simple
solution to this?  I wonder if it's worth putting an isolator in also
so that I can watch 10 DVD's in a row if need be?  (Got stuck at
Kirkwood for an extra day or two last year and of course they had to
close the mountain on those days - ugh)

Any suggestions?  Is my setup just peachy keen fine as it is?

Thanks.
