How to Install the Install Bay IB200

The IB200 is a battery isolator/relay that is attached to larger batteries, such as car batteries, that are connected to secondary batteries. For example, if you have a truck, SUV or RV that has two batteries the IB200 prevents surge and battery drain. If you aren't intimidated by working with automobiles, you can install the IB200 on your own in a matter of minutes.
