Dual battery setup help

[DallasTahoe]

I've read a bunch of posts about dual setups but they are all old posts and I was wondering if there has been any changes in technology or devices? I want my batteries isolated, but I only want the secondary battery to charge when I flip a toggle switch or when it gets below a certain voltage. Only front and rear fog lights will be on it for now, might move my amp to it later or Evans if I get them

You could use a relay and put the 12v power wire on a toggle switch. I have a 200 amp Stinger relay/isolator that comes on with the ignition.

Yea that's what I think I'm going to do since I won't be using it often I don't want my alt working any harder than it should

After some research and seeing how often I'll be using it, I decided to go with a Stinger 200amp battery relay and isolator and I'll wire it into a 200amp fuse and wire it with a toggle switch to only charge it when it needs it and of course a digital volt gauge

Thanks for the kudos. It has been a slow but fun build and I really like where it ended up on the last few projects. Solving exactly how to do the electrical took a lot of research and planning...and finally it was certainly more expensive than anticipated. Anyone contemplating the Big Three/Four, a dual battery system and wiring in some auxiliary items should grab a hold of their wallet. lol.

After much deliberation I think for now I've decided to scrap the dual battery setup, I've never had a problem with power or too many accessories etc. I have the money but not the need, so I'll dump the money into it somewhere else
