Hey guys,
I have one of these lying around, and I am hoping that it will work for adding an additional battery for accessories. I will be powering two small LED exterior lights, as well as a few small appliances (phone chargers, laptops, electric griddle :chowtime: etc.). The goal is to use the second battery for some extra oomph while cranking, and to use electronics without running down the primary battery. I realize that a battery isolator would be ideal, but I don't think it's necessary for what I am trying to accomplish.
I found some good information regarding dual battery wiring with similar solenoids here.
Will this solenoid be up to the task?
