I have looked through the previous threads, watched a number of videos, etc., and bought parts accordingly. Now that I'm getting ready to install it all, however, I'm left wondering if I misread something, bought too many parts, etc.?
I bought the
Kemimoto Battery Isolator kit from Amazon, as well as the
Stinger Relay, but now I'm wondering if I need both? I like the Kemimoto kit because of the emergency start option, the voltage meter, etc., but I can't find the wiring diagram (if there ever was one?) that used both. I'm sure life would have been much simpler if I had bought everything from the HondaSXS Club store as Rayger143 advised, and that was indeed my intent (I purchased the accessory switch wiring harness there) but to my chagrin the store site came up as closed when I was trying to order everything. Now it appears that was a temporary thing, and after reading past posts appears it happens from time to time, so next time I'll know to wait, but this time I thought it was out of business and sent Jeff Bezos too much of my hard earned money.
If anyone has time to shed light on the best way to wire the dual battery setup with both the Kemimoto and the Stinger (I also have bus bars for all the accessories I'm adding) I would really appreciate it!
Also, I have seen some disagreement in various threads regarding where the winch should be wired - the primary (starting) battery or the second battery. I am leaning toward the second battery via the bus bars, to preserve my starting battery (though I generally leave the engine running when winching to prevent discharging the battery) and because the
second battery is larger with more amp hours and CCA. Are there any downsides to doing it this way?
Thanks in advance for the advice for a newbie!
