Hooking up electronics

[educ8tedguess]

Hey all,
I've read through posts, threads, etc... And still need some assistance. I'm planning on doing an aux battery in the same way @CumminsPusher explained in a thread. Here is what I have ordered.
1. Battery

2. Isolator

3. Relay thingy (told you I need help)

4. Switches from OTRATTW

I have a good idea as to how this setup will work and hook up to the batteries. But I don't know how my accessories will hook up to this. Am I missing anything in terms of materials? Wire etc...

I'm looking at light bars and work lights. With what I already have, do I need to purchase their wiring harness, fuse/relay kits? Do I need additional wire?

I apologize for all the questions. I have no experience with this stuff but I do want to do it so I know how it works.
If there are any resources you can direct me to, I would appreciate it. I'm sure I'm making this harder than it really is but I do t want to have my pile of goodies ready to be installed only to realize I'm missing pieces.
Thanks in advance.

that battery while an energy dense battery is not designed for the kind of vibration you will see off-road, its gonna die a rapid death.

That's not good. What type of battery should I be looking for?

 

[ohanacreek]

An AGM or lithium designed for off road use. There are many out there.

Lithium ion is much smaller and lighter weight than a lead based battery, but they come with a premium price.

I too am about to place a second battery and isolator. Where here have you decided to mount your isolator?
