Re: planning on installing 2 batteries

You sir have joined about a thousand others who seem to insist this is the ONLY way to run a dual battery setup. Go to the ELECTRICAL forum and use the SEARCH feature using key words DUAL BATTERY SWITCH setup. There are a gazillion responses explaining how a dual battery switch, ACR's and isolators work and how they are incorporated. You are wasting half the versatility of a dual battery switch if you wire it the way you imply.
