A-la RV/Boat style. Not using an isolator or fusable link. I already have an upgraded load boss 165amp alternator and I've done the big 3 upgrade so all my wires under the hood are 4ga. (Alt to Fuse Box, Fuse Box to battery, battery to body, battery to block, block to frame).
My plan is to run a Blue Sea Systems ML-ACR Automatic Charging Relay with Manual Control - 12V DC 500A PN7622 in order to give me the options I want. My question is, do I actually need the pair of ML series remote battery switches to go with it? I want to be able to bring the cranking battery in as help for the winch, as well as be able to jump the cranking battery of the deep cycles if I need to.
My original thought was just to drop a fuse between the alternator and the ACR before the deep cycle batteries, but I'm not sure that will give me the end result I am seeking. The secondary bank will run its own fuse box with the winch, offroad lights, 1800w inverter, etc. Running 1/0 for the entire kit.
Camping for 10 days in June with a 1yr old, need this up and running since we are tenting, and I need the bugs worked out.
Anyone have any experience wiring up boats or rv's with ACR's?
