dual battery setup

[Bretthn]

I am trying to piece together a wiring setup for dual batteries in my LX470. The batteries are already in and I just need to wire them up.

Hopefully this is legible. Please look it over and let me know what you think.

That will work One thing to change would be to wire the temporary switch for self-jumping to the backup battery. I have that exact setup (see link below) and have found that, if I'm an idiot and run down the starter battery, it won't have enough power to engage the solenoid. Larger current solenoids require quite a bit of power to engage and a dead starting battery won't always engage the solenoid - I found it better to power it from the backup.
