I have installed the PD charger/converter, the Yandina combiner
and a pair of golf cart 6V batteries.

After several days to allow stabilization of charge status, the
top and bottom terminals of the isolator read at 13.3 Volts and
the isolator center terminal is at ~1.4 Volts.

The last time I checked with engine running, the center terminal
was around 15.5 Volts.

I strongly suspect something is quite wrong here.

Is it likely that I have problem(s) with both the altenator AND
the isolator?

TIA for any advice and/or suggestions for further action.
