I have a dual battery set-up installed. All systems in the truck are off the main battery.
The main battery is under the hood. The Aux battery is in the rear. The batteries are isolated via a solenoid.
Typically the batteries are only connected/joined while the engine is running and able to charge the batteries.
I can overide the system and disconnect or connect the batts at anytime, for instance-should the main battery become depleted I can jump start the main battery from the aux battery if needed.
Now I want to wire in a winch. Should I wire it to the main battery?
If so, do I keep the aux battery isolated from the main battery while winching or have the winch drawing from both at the same time?
Thoughts?
