Lots of complete kits with isolator, wires fuses are available in the 140 amp range.

I’ m trying to mount a second identical Odyessy battery in front of truck bed or Supercab space?

it’s going to power removable Vivair compressor.

it gets really pricey step up to 200/300 amp isolator , redarc and others. Lots of isolators are available in lower rating, but don’t
want to hurt oem 2020 ford alternator.

it’s not lithium or deep cycle but I already have two because they sent new one because of case blemish.

Now I’m stumped as what to do .
