Pacific Scientific REDI-LINE Generators

DA12A Series
If the load requirement is not heavy (intermittent hand tool use or light loads for a
long period of time) the vehicle battery and charging system should handle both
vehicle and additional generator demand.
If the load requirements are heavy (constant use of hand tools or large loads) install
one or more auxiliary deep cycle batteries. The auxiliary battery should be isolated
from the vehicle battery using a battery isolator. The battery isolator is a one way
path so the vehicle charges both batteries but one battery cannot discharge the
other. This will ensure the vehicle battery is always charged and you will be able to
start your vehicle.
