I ditched the diode isolator for a Yandina combiner (relay based) years ago. I think Yandina has been bought out, but other companies make a similar unit.

Peter. Could you turn the boost switch on while driving to get more power to the house batteries, while driving? I have lithium house batteries and a Orion dc/dc charger. I don't currently turn on my boost switch while driving. But have considered it.

Can you combine batteries with the boost switch while driving - yes. But, lithiums will accept a very large charge current up to being fully charged. You would run the risk of seriously overloading the alternator. That is why people go to a B2B (or multiple B2Bs in parallel) with lithiums, so the alternator load is controlled to protect the alternator.

Thanks for the answer. That's what I thought, but wanted your thoughts.
