 ===== sizing an isolator =====
-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.  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.))
