Oh, okay, that makes sense...  So the solenoid keeps both batteries from being drained, and keeps the primary battery fully chargaed via the alternator... 
So a solenoid is an important part of the setup I guess. 
But what about the isolator?  What are the benifits of keeping the extra battery seperated?  Has anyone used a solar charger, with a solenoid being used, to help keep the secondary battery charged?
