Battery Isolator

I have a Battery Isolator that I am trying to figure out what the extra post is on it.

It has 4 post. One is connected to the Alternator and the other two are connected one each to the two batteries.

There is a label on the side that shows the 4 post and labels them as:

A E 1 2

A = Alternator (or supply)
1&2 are the batteries.

Anyone have any idea what E is for?

The post E is right next to the post A which are both in the middle.

The sticker has the company name as "Valley Industries" which appears to only make hitch and hitch kits. "Multi Battery Isolator 90 amp" is listed on it. Model number 5277-81.

TIA

Take your continuity tester and check from post E to the case of the isolator. I'm guessing (and this is only a guess) that it is a ground terminal. Incidentally if this is the case the E stands for Earth as a reference to ground.
