Another yes to.... Automatic and invisible....

Over the last 20 yrs I have had several 4x4s (Cruisers and lesser brands) and I have never used anything more than a simple isolator system. I have never had any of the burn-out issues others experienced.

I believe in being prepared and being able to handle any situation that might arise but to build a complex system so that in the unlikely event my main battery is dead and I can jump it by flipping a switch........not needed in my book.
It does have a certain ''cool'' factor but the possibility of operator error increases greatly. I have never had a battery in any of my dual systems go dead... *knocks on wood*.. but if one did I can self-jump using cables, slightly more time consuming but gets the same job done.

I do like what I see with the Power-gate units (except the $) and I may go from my simple isolator to the Power-gate isolator/combiner because it does what I need with simple wiring and limited chance for operator error.
