Quick question guys, the Pylon battery comes built in with an on/off switch, do I still need to wire a DC isolator switch between the battery and inverter, is it a standard thing that is supposed to be done rragardless of the battery capabilities?

yes, you should use a fuse disconnect regardless

Cool, thanks Tom.

It depends on your system for sizing but generally a 125A double fuse disconnect does the job

Yeah, a 100A would be adequate but even the 125A would not hurt, whatever I get at a reasonable price.
