Prevents you from draining starter battery.Dual Battery Systems with a VSR (Voltage Sensitive Relay) So a dual battery system in parallel will work and won't cause any huge problems, but it doesn't cost much to go to the next best solution: a VSR. If your starter battery fails, you can perhaps use current from your accessories battery to either start the car, or to charge your cranking battery. You can (maybe) use your second battery to start the car.If you have another battery to power your current-hungry accessories, you'll be able to run your battery flat and still be able to drive home. Secondly, if you connect two in parallel, you lose out on the two main benefits of dual battery systems:

This means that if you connect two batteries in parallel, you'll never get full potential out of your system.

Batteries are at the same condition level.

A short distance difference of just one metre usually results in a few tenths of a volt difference with the current that we normally see in 12V systems.

The voltage that arrives at each battery is the same.

If not, then you may not charge one to its fullest level.

The batteries have the same capacity and chemistry.

This works, but only with a precarious set of assumptions: It's tempting to think "Ah, I'll just connect the batteries in parallel!"

Won't work with latest cars with smart alternators.

Gets 80% out of your accessory battery doesn't charge it too fast.

Engine bay only, lead acid batteries only.

Dual Battery Systems - Direct Connections Let's go through the pros and cons of these in turn. These are expensive but have multiple benefits. This works better, and isn't very expensive.

Voltage Sensitive Relay/Isolator(a.k.a.

There are three main ways you can connect two (or more) batteries in a dual- or multi-battery system You build a dual-battery system into a car or truck for mainly one reason: to keep your accessories (fridge, chargers, epic sound system) on one battery, and your vehicle system (starting and operating critical electrics) on the other.

As is you will only need a 50 amp (fused) line from isolator to house battery if you isolator is 40 amp.In building our 4x4 adventure vehicle system, I learned a lot about the way people build dual battery systems in cars and trucks. But with a rear mounted house battery that requires custom 0-00 gauge wiring.

You also have the option to install a dual battery switch, so you can use the house battery to start the engine as a backup in case starting battery fails. As in any application, if you deplete the house battery it could take a few hours of running engine to get it toped off.

With inverter on an isolated deep cycle this will never occur. Had to re-boot at every rest stop, or keep engine on. Im my conversion van I found when I hooked an inverter to my starting battery running a Tivo (DVR) the darn inverter cut off whenever I started the engine at rest stops because the starter battery voltage dips below 10 volts (internal inverter cutoff) when cranking. Now if you are using a large display w/the DVD them it's different. A 150 amp hour deep cycle battery will last a few hours w/o engine on. DVD and/or laptop is a relativly low load lets say 150 watts top, about so the inverter will be drawing 15 amps from the house battery with laptop and DVD on. But keep the isolator always connected to house battery to keep it charged. Use a high current (marine or RV) 12V switch to shut off power from the battery when it's not needed. Run the power inverter off the house battery directly so it always has power, iregardless of the ignition status. But I would suggest a Deep Cycle battery for the second or what is called a 'House Battery" The house battery will be charged by the isolator when engine is running. First your starting battery could be whatever you require for the vehicle. Can tell you what we do in marine setups, and also used in RV setups.
