Firstly, let me apologize for the lack of knowledge I'll probably be displaying with this question but in an effort to not burn down my rig, I'd like to run a something by you fine folks.
In the near future I will be adding a second battery and I'm thinking of the simplest way to wire up auxiliaries in the console, cargo area, and rear rack lights.
I'd like to have usb outlets out of the console, 12v outlets x 2 in rear cargo area, and a set of LED work lights off the back of the roof rack.
Can I (safely) run hot wire from the second batt (with inline fuse) -----> toggle switch ----->fuse box (located in console) ----> (1)-------> usb outlet ----->usb outlet.
(2) ------> cargo 12v outlet -----> cargo 12v outlet.
(3) ------> toggle switch ------> rear roof rack LED lights.
I think 10ga wire would be acceptable for the usb and 12v outlets.
Would you use a different gauge for the LED lights?
What would you suggest for the lead wire?
Thanks for any advice.
