Oops,

I should have looked closer at the nomenclature, (my apologies), but yup,
this is what I want.

Thanks to Paul G. as well for giving me the link.

Cheers,

Dave

Subject: Re: Where to get a Sure Power 1315-200 battery isolator?

The SurePower 1315 is NOT an isolator, it is a smart separator. There is no
voltage drop with it. The older diode type isolators do have a voltage drop
but not this separator. The 1315 is the best way to go for a Vanagon, IMHO,
since it requires no modification to the alternator or to the base vehicle
wiring.

The 1315 product IS a smart relay.
