I have two batteries and the Tru Isolator installed. I want to add a fuse panel to the second battery. What do I need, if anything, between the second battery and the fuse panel?
Currently I have a winch and hydrolic snow plow connected to the second battery. May add lights and radio in the future.
Thanks in advance.

If you want power available to the fuse box constantly just hook it up straight to the second battery. Add a relay if you only want it powered when the ignition is on. I have two panels, one hooked up each way.

If you get the right relay/fuse block setup you can run an accessory wire on to the relays you want to be conditional, and go direct on the rest. I forget the name of the relay type but it requires two hot wires to close.

ETA. Here’s an explanation. May still be easier to relay the entire fuse block if your circuits are low amperage
