How good is the Redarc 100 amp 12VDC SB112 Solenoid/isolator.
I want to use a solenoid under the bonnet in a 2001 Prado and run 6ml B&S cabel to a battery box in the rear. I will be running a 6oltr Engle combo fridge/freezer.
Can anyone suggest a better solenoid or is the Redarc smart solenoid the way to go.
I did contact ARB in
Brisbane however their smart solenoid was about $240 dollars compared to the Redarc for $179 as advertised on E-BAY.

Kelpie,
I asked the same question of redark direct, and recieved an email from them stating that their system did work better with two "identical" batteries than it did with two different batteries, so if you have two identical batteries it will be perfect for you.
The price is way over the top as you can get a brand new Rotronics isolator for about that price and they are guaranteed to work with two different types of batteries.
There are many posts on the
forum both for and also against solenoids v electronic isolators. Over the years I have had both in my vehicle, obviously I changed for a reason, ask him why he is selling his ?
