Just the battery cables!
What are your plans for the second battery?

Will run the starter off of it, and maybe winch. Mostly just for more oomph for cold starts
So not for a frig or aux lighting?Will run the starter off of it, and maybe winch. Mostly just for more oomph for cold starts

Nope
I'm in the same boat, been running two N70Z batteries in parallel for years with no controllers etc. Including running a waeco CFX50 fridge, but like Hulsty it would be unusual for me not to drive the car for more than 2 nights in a row, it hasn't ever been an issue.
G'Day Fella's,
Coldtaco, I have had a basic, commercial 12 Volt isolation switch, mounted in the BATTLE CRUISER's cabin.
If you want to use your Accessory battery, to run a fridge etc, you need to isolate this battery, from your Starter battery.
FYI, here is a basic image of my in-cabin switch set up, looks like.
Hope that helps.
D'oh!
