I consulted with my dealer authorized service people about auxiliary battery installation. they charge about $100 to $150 to do the work but say they are happy to draw a diagram for me to do the work myself to save me the money. How nice. They also recommend a Dual battery solenoid switch ($12) rather than a battery isolator which is a more complicated job. Both will charge both batteries when the van is running and shut off the main battery when the van is not running. William |
