Subject:      Battery Setup

This is maybe my ideal battery setup. 


Under the rear seat, larger engine battery and large deep cycle battery
Under the front seats two deep cycle batteries that will fit - Frank of Canada had a part number for oem type


Then a gray HD switch from Bluesea to switch between the engine and the house batteries
Then a second likewise HD switch between the large deep cycle and the two-smaller-wired-in-parallel batties. 


This way I can choose to start my engine from the engine battery or the larger deep cycle. 
I can also choose to run an inverter between either the large deep cycle or the two-smaller-in-parallel batteries. 


That last bit gives me a chance to let the battery rest and properly charge while I continue to use the two-in-parallel, and then vice la versa.
