I assume you are after an engine battery and house battery. Connect
both batt negatives to common ground. Connect domestic battery pos to a on off batt switch - do not bother with a 1 2 all switch. Connect dom bat pos to eng bat pos via a relay - Curtis/Albright - controlled by something like a Smartbank - www.smartgauge .co.uk Connect alternator pos to domestic batt pos or batt side of batt switch - replace weedy std alt wiring with something more beefy. Can leave alt neg connected to common ground. Have a suitable feed from live side of batt switch to supply "always on" items - bilge pump, alarm etc etc. Smartbank will control when relay operates - charging engine battery when engine is running and then disconnecting engine battery. Smart bank can also be used to parallel batteries for emergency starting using RJ45 cable and push switch. |
