 [[electrical:12v:b2b|DC-DC chargers]] can boost alternator voltage to the required Absorption voltage but doing so with Big Current can be impossible or at least very expensive.  So DC-DC chargers are usually relatively small.
-Digression: this means that for **short drives** the isolator will likely return more Ah to the battery ban k than DC-DC.  On **longer drives** the DC-DC will both return more current and charge at a more appropriate voltage for the battery chemistry.

 What if we paralleled an isolator with a small DC-DC to get the both of best worlds?  That is what the Ctek combo does.
