I don't run an isolator. You basically run that or a solenoid (or switch). Never had any trouble connecting a dead battery to a fully charged one. Just be sure to use large enough cables to handle the charging current. I use 1/0 welding cable in mine. Isolators work by adding large diodes to each battery to keep them separate under discharge but still let them charge together.
