Dual battery setup

JD,

There were no other physical changes. I have only had to remove the negative once and it was not too bad. Obviously not as easy as stock, but I do it so infrequently, that it really does not matter. If I thought I'd have to do it all the time, I might actually put in a battery kill switch on the negative line.

I think your fuse idea would be just fine. I think any type of fuse that can handle 125 amps will work just fine.

I am new to the dual battery setup, other than my Duramax Chevy coming stock with them... But anyway, I just installed the Ironman 4x4 275 Amp dual battery setup and so far so good. This setup allows the batteries to be joined together if you need to jump your starting battery off your Aux battery.

Here are some pics of the installation in my Rubicon.

Thanks for all the help everyone got everything set up today and works good so far. Made a battery tray with a plate to mount the isolator and got everything hooked up. I only ran one fuse between the isolator and the accessory battery, do i need the another between the isolator and the main battery? Heres a few pics, nothing special but should get the job done.
