FS25 ADS Battery Isolator for Advanced Damage System V2.0.0.0
ADS Battery Isolator is a standalone addon for Advanced Damage System that adds a functional battery isolator to motorized machines. It helps prevent unnecessary battery drain while machines are parked or stored.
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. Once the battery is isolated, the engine cannot be started until the battery is connected again.
