Re: [DMCForum] I'm back with another kooky question!

It all depends on where you are going to put the second.  Personally I
would
wire in a 1-2-all-off switch like on a boat so that I could select that
combination that I needed to run. And if you wanted to get fancy add a
isolator which would allow you to run the batteries independently but
charge
them both at the same time.  Hook it up to what ever point is the simplest
and requires the least amount of wire.
