Sorry about the link, I thought it would take you right to the info but YES that is the one that I recommend. I normally just slit a hose and run it around the edge of the cut area in the battery hold down to prevent any chance of contact with the top posts.

nice pics......still trying to decide what route to go. A few setups. JC Whitney has an isolator for about $60 US.



Seeing those pics now I want a few other parts....if you see what I mean...... <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... >/grin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';D' />

Was looking into this more and depending on applications........most people that camp are going with a good battery like the Odyssey, and then a gas generator...carrying a battery recharger with them.



Dual battery conversions run around $500 for a good one, then add 2 batteries on top.



You can get a 5000 watt generator cheaper......now something else to think about....*lol*

  Here is a bolt in dual battery conversion for the Hummer H2.

Yikes, it is expensive, and the batteries are extra.

You might try cable wiring cover in place of slit hose. It's already cut and electrically inert you can get it at Canadian tire in different diameters.
