P1000 2nd battery wiring question.

[MuskyHunter]

Bought the true kit from the club store. Also got the key on adapter so I didn’t have to tap a wire. For now all I’m installing is a winch.

1. what else do I need to buy?
2. what is the key on power adapter for?
3. can I hook the neg from the true isolator to the neg battery post?
4. the kit came with an 80a relay. What is it for?

1. Stinger relay, if you want a fuse box.
2. The adapter runs off of your 12v acc from the 12v plug. It has a red wire coming off of it for you to run your "key on trigger"
3. There is no negative on the tru isolator. They are both positive. Read the directions. They are fairly easy to follow.
4. The 80amp relay like the stinger?
This transfers 12v + to your fuse box if you so choose.

In this pic my stinger is on the left and my winch control is on the right.

I used the key on adapter and ran the red wire to a buss block so I could then run all of the things I wanted to be triggered, stinger, isolator, winch relay to be hot when key was on. I also screwed a black buss bar to the cross bar above where the second battery goes, and ran the factory winch ground to that, then grounded the second battery stinger, volt meters and fuse block to that.

If all you have rt now is a winch you should be good to go. You will want a fuse box later and that’s when you need the stinger. So this is a good starting point. Follow instructions for kit. Yes you can hook ground from isolator to 2nd battery. Relay runs dual volt meter and since it already has two hot wires going to it acts as a ground but hook up is simple. Relay - Black to ground on 2nd battery one green to volt meter ( one green is extra so just tape it up) Red is hooked to key on wire.

I have dual volt meter so relay to AUX and main battery to main on volt meter?

The true kit comes with a wire to run from the isolator to the meter. One to each side of isolator then to back of meter. It’s a blue wire and green wire inside a blue casing. The relay has 4 wires. 1 black 1 red 2 green Black to ground. You can use 2nd batt. Red to key on wire from the club. Green goes to meter instructions tell you 2nd green is extra so I just taped it up.

here are a couple of good threads on this that should help

Howdy. New member here. I’ve been pouring through 2nd battery install and wiring threads and still have a few questions I haven't been able to figure out. I’ll admit they are basic as I’m still in learning mode. In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve reached a point where I’m suffering from...

You guys have to be so tired of this, I couldn't be more sorry to drag you through it again, but I'm stuck. I've read everything this site has to offer and it's still mostly a foreign language to me. I've done my best to digest beautiful wiring diagrams provided by others ( like JoeyL), and...

also i put 3 wiring diagram examples in this post you can look at

P1000 - 2nd battery and fuse block wiring diagr

Do you see any issues in my wiring diagram? I forgot to draw in the key-on to stinger with Honda sxs harness from lighter and that ground runs to the fuse block.

hondasxs.com

the Wiring Diagram Simplified 2 file uses a stinger relay and fuse box for accessories, where the accessories are activated with key on power

the Wiring Diagram Simplified 3 file is set up so the accessories on the fuse block are always on

the Wiring Diagram file is more complicated and you can switch the accessories from key on, to always on, or off

also note that i have an AXON winch shown so yours will be wired differently if it is any other winch than an AXON, just connect it to your second battery and wire it as shown in the instructions.
