Short and simple. I have 1 batt. If I add another batt. JUST for electronics, how do I run #2 battery to my fuse panel? Remember, batt, 1 is already hooked up to fuse panel now. I have a hot lead and the ground going to the fuse panel. Should I get another fuse panel and run the #2 battey to it and disconnect the electronics from the original and put them on the new panel? Simple answers please.

Re: Another Battery ???

Mailman1,<br />I assume that you are using an electronic battery to provide a steady source of 12V power to your electronics for their optimum performance. If this is the case, you will need to dedicate a portion of your current fuse panel (if large enough) for this battery or install another fuse panel. The circuits to your electronics should not be shared with the other battery to prevent current drain into the other battery system. In order to keep your electronic battery charged, you will need to connect to the engine generating system and not to the other battery. I hope this helps. Be safe.
