Well,
A relay wouldnt give me a voltage drop like an isolator - but,
In theory, I would need to use the same battery as whats in there now, right? Also, is there a danger of overcharging a batt? For example, if my main batt is charged and my second batt is 1/2 dead, then the alternator is going to make juice to charge the second battery, wouldnt that harm the first one?
Also, correct me if I am wrong but doesnt a battery isolator prevent overcharging of the primary battery?
I like the idea of not having a voltage drop w/ a relay but I do not want to risk hurting a battery. Wizard, what guage wire did you use, and what batteries? How long has your setup been working for?
It seems the more research and the more information I collect, the harder it is to make the final decision. I appreciate everybody's input! Thanks!
