A battery isolator addon for Advanced Damage System, designed to prevent unnecessary battery drain while your machines are parked or stored.
About
ADS Battery Isolator is a standalone addon for Advanced Damage System that adds a functional battery isolator to motorized machines.
When a machine is parked and no longer being used, you can manually disconnect the battery or allow the mod to automatically isolate it after a configurable period of inactivity.
