Finished my dual battery install by wiring up the switch in the cab. It is a DPDT on-off-on toggle. I have the ability to use my IGN+ to link the batteries automatically so they charge when the engine is running and disconnect automatically when the IGN is off. The second function initiates a connection with power from the second battery in case the primary dies and the third function will completely isolate the second battery from the system regardless of the state of the IGN. Also installed an LED to indicate when I have the second battery forced on so I don't forget and leave it engaged.
Fabbed up a nice little switch bracket to house this switch and the 3-way fan switch I mounted a few months ago for the volvo fan.
Next on my list is to fab up an ANL fuse holder to mount on the battery in-line with the winch to hold a 500A ANL time delay fuse. Only problem is there is nothing out there that can handle the 3/0 (000) cables I have going to my 8274 winch so homebuild is the only option. Stay tuned.
