How do I add an additional battery and isolate with the "Honda SWITCH PLATE HARNESS Part # 0SA30-HL4-100" ?

Just got a SxS10005mD - ordered the switch plate Harness, the "Honda FUSE BOX RELO BKT Part # 0SA30-HL4-100B" relocation bracket, ordered a KFI Winch Kit (Part [HASHTAG]#U4500[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#101285[/HASHTAG]) & Plow Kit (KFI# 105740, 105635 & 105072). I plan on adding a front light bar, rear LED cubes, a dome light and rewire the winch switch into the panel (using www.otrattw.net switches) and a radio into the power mix.

Just wondering if I add an additional battery what isolator should I use and what should I keep in mind so I wire it so it separates the the switch plate harness and radio off the main battery circuit ?

Great Machine and Most Appreciative of any/all advice !

The Honda switch plate comes with its one PDM module which contains the fuses and relays. It needs to be connected to a pos and neg battery terminal. if you have two batteries, it will be your choice as to which battery you want to hook it to.

I like the True isolator.

I also use the True isolator and an Odyssey battery. 1000 miles, with lots of music/refreshment breaks and no issues.

I understand all about second batterys and isolators, as I have a houseboat, but my question is, how is everyone securing the second battery into the box. I purchased the 925 battery so it fits quite snugly in the box, however it can and will bounce up without a hold down strap.

Waterproof Velcro on the bottom or side will hold it in place just fine.

Interesting, thank you

Good day,
New to the forum and the Pioneer 1000.
I just bought an 18 1000 5 LE.
I'm adding a second battery. Just so happened I had a new spare Yuasa motorcycle battery that fits like a glove.
Yuasa GYZ32HL- 500 CCA 32AH
It's a work horse of a battery.
I've also purchased a True Isolator.

I'm just arm chair mechanicing to ask where is a good chassis ground to hook up the second battery and the isolator?
Thanks
And sorry about a redundant question.

Check the last posts of my build.

P1000 - SuperBee build

I used the factory spare ground(taped up on the side under hood), Tru, Stinger, and BlueSeas fuse panel.

Installed the Isolater to my second battery today, it works perfectly. My LE didnt seem to have a ground point handy like Hoover, so I drilled and tapped one under the left firewall. It will also simplify my fuse box and switch installation.
More to come when I get all my parts.
I also installed a dome/rear bed/backup light as well.
Thanks
Jim

What gauge wire are y’all using between you two batteries and your Stinger and True isolator? Thanks! David

Tru includes 4 AWG (conductor diameter .228") with their kit. I used 2 AWG (.3" diameter) when I was making up my between battery ground cable or when the Tru provided cable wasn't long enough. I also shortened their cables when there was excess, as I mounted the Tru between the batteries the cables were short.
