Generator charging question
A Schottky isolator is also an option. These have much lower loss than
the garden-variety isolator used by BB. It fits (or is close to) the
stock isolator mounts and cable connections and only takes a few
minutes to swap out. It looks exactly like the stock isolator from the
outside.

Schottky isolators are required equipment in ambulances where correct
voltage is a matter of life or death. An Internet search will find
plenty of vendors.

There are other good options, however the change to a Schottky is fast,
simple and reasonably economical. Ours has performed very well for
several years.

Note that a different isolator will not help much if there are other
problems with the charging system.
