• Using Redarc Battery Isolator on Boat with Two Engines and Batteries
  This is a really good question.

• Recommended Battery Isolator for Ram ProMaster with 220 Amp Alternator
  In regards to battery isolators, they should be rated at or close to the changing amperage rating of your alternator. They don't really need to exceed this as it's very unlikely your alternator will ever reach its max charging amperage therefore, I recommend the Redarc Smart Start Battery Isolator part # 331-SBI212 which is rated at 200 amps and the highest we offer. That said, these don't work with lithium batteries and the highest rated battery isolator we do offer for this is the Redarc...

• Charging Lithium Trailer Batteries While Driving
  Yes, your solution is a DC to DC charger as there is not a "good" way to charge your 100Ahr trailer battery using your Tacoma's 7 pin connection only. You will get some low amperage trickle-charge while hooked up and the alternator running, but not enough to fully charge your trailer battery.
