Howdy!
So; getting ready to finally pull the trigger and order the parts for the dual battery set up in my V8'd FJ60, and want to make sure that I've got this right.
Spent many days reading about this, and wanted to make sure that I'm wiring/ordering it right way. Much of the info I know came from here.
My reasoning for the dual bat / Blue Sea 7622 system:
1) I run a winch (XD9500i) and want the ability to link the two batteries for serious amperage when needed.
2) I own and plan to run a Norcold 45 fridge in the rear of the 60' for longer jaunts.
3) I'd like insurance for operating a stereo / weather radio for longer periods.
My thinking is that I run 1 AWG wire between ACR and batteries, with 200a fuses in housings, and 2 AWG wire with another 100a fuse to the rear fuse box.
I'm going to put 2 individual volt meters into an A-Pillar pod so I can monitor the level of both batteries independently.
Lastly, since I don't plan on wiring 'sensitive' electronics, I think I can nix the isolator cables and run the remote switch with only the Red (remote) / Yellow (LED) / Black (Gnd) wires only.
Please take a look at my diagram and tell me if there's anything glaringly wrong.
Not in a rush, as this system'll probably cost a clean 1K after all is said and done (2 batteries included, x2 Yellow or Red tops, both the same battery) but... want to make 1000% sure I'm doing this right!
Thanks
