Hello all,

I need to wire in a twin battery set up, not in a Land Rover, with a
master switch (off, bat1, bat2, both) anyone aware of the wiring set
up?

TIA

Dave

If you have the switch already it should be fairly self explanitory,
otherwise perhaps you should get someone else there to do it as it
could be very interesting if you get it wrong and you WILL damage
something with 100s of amps flowing. Without details of the switch in
question, the batteries or even the vehicle you will find it impossible
for anyone to help you over the net.

Would this be a boaty type of "not a Land Rover"? In which case I may have
a diagram or three.

Yes, it's been so long since I did it, I can't remember, and i'd rather
spend my thinking time now rather than when i'm sat in the back of the
boat racking my brain
