If an isolator is **oversized** it will cost more for no benefit and will self-consume extra energy to hold the combining circuit closed.((an electromagnet holds the parts of the active circuit together. When power to the inolator input is cut the electromagnet can no longer hold the circuit closed. The circuit is open and the batteries are isolated from each other.)) If an isolator is undersized (less common) it will not be able to carry enough current, overheat, and electronic models may reset or shut down.((see below info on sudden disconnection)) | If an isolator is **oversized** it will cost more for no benefit and will self-consume somewhat more energy to hold the combining circuit closed.((an electromagnet holds the parts of the active circuit together.
