Thank you for that! Didn't go with the diode due to the voltage drop and wanted to go with switch rather than relay so I have a "booster" if my other battery runs down......haven't got round to putting an "alarm" on the lights in case i leave them on and get a flat! After reading the tutorial...

Thank you both.....that's my job for wednesday! I'm also going to move the earth directly to the battery to remove any other shorting risks as well. I'll let you know how it goes. Also just checking......is the split charge wired up ok (without the extra fuse box)? I'm more used to high voltage...

The fuses on the battery are fine and running ok.....both batteries charging well......I was worried about them blowing when I first hooked up as the second battery was knocking around for a while unused. It's the fuses in the auxiliary fuse box that I've run off the positive terminal of the...

Been down and double checked the wiring with my wife and both agree it's as in the diagram.....we're both a tad flummoxed!

Getting help already so a big thank you!

Thank you for the reply!!! This is the way I ran the split charge (Hope the image displays!). If not I shall upload when I'm at home. Simply ran a cable straight from the positive on the second battery to the fuse box and took earth from the chassis.

well im very much a newbie to all of this.....expecting a bit of a roasting as I'm probably doing something very obviously wrong but here goes..... I've fitted a second battery using a manually switched split charge setup....added a cable from the positive of the second battery to a fuse box...
