Forgive my ignorance, but I am confused...and I admit that I have not measured the input and output of my isolator...but....
My silver leaf regularly reports that my voltage with engine running is 13.8V. You are measuring 13.4V. It seems to me that a half a volt is not gonna cause battery problems.
If you are interested, can you say more about what you are seeing? Could batteries be failing? If they are original then they are approaching their end of life. Do you have a trickle charger? (I had a trickle charger that was not working and had tons of battery problems until I fixed it — there is a thread about that here.
I am not saying the isolator is not bad...but for it to be a problem I would be thinking more about current that voltage.
Cheers,
Bill
