   * you already have an [[electrical:12v:alternator|isolator]] installed from a previous Pb bank.  Might as well see if it meets needs "for free".
   * even if you have no isolator installed an isolator is much less expensive, costing as little as 1/10th the price of DC-DC. If after testing you do decide to go DC-DC you can carry the isolator as a backup.
-  * an isolator is likely to charge with more current than smaller (~20A) DC-DC units during Bulk charging during shorter drives.((On longer drives the DC-DC will be able to provide higher voltage than the alternator so its current will remain stable while isolator current drops with the voltage delta))
