Just wondered if you added any fuses into the system, such as for the second battery from the Blue Sea relay or the supply to the fuse box?

no, i'm trying to keep the connections to a minimum so I used the same diagram as provided with the relay. the aux fuse box is the only output from the aux battery and each item is individually fused.

i kept the car battery fuses as OEM, ie the mega fuse is still there for the starter

Wow 3 batteries! You trying to run your own nuclur plant?


it's a 24v start - could run the accessories from the second batt but its needed for starting so want to be 100% safe due to what the vehicle is doing/where its going. the fridge would be fine off the second batt as it has the auto shut down but since it will be parked for days at a time and i'll need the fridge to be working i need the 3rd batt.

It is a tough one, all the customer cars I have done I have put 300A fuses to protect each battery. A few I have fused the Blue Sea fuse boxe supply at 100A some I have not.
