Very Different than everyone else, I like it.
Keep em comin! I made the mistake of ordering the 35Ah battery and not the 25Ah battery so now I have to wait until Wednesday!
Thanks for the advice everyone. I assembled mine last night. I don't have any accessories on the fuseblock yet other than the winch but I'm trying to make and keep the wiring as clean as possible.
I also placed my dual battery charger under the passenger side front fender...

Well I got started on my dual battery yesterday and got it in. Now on to the mounting of more lights. Then the radio and speakers and wire it all up.

Here is what I came up with...
I wanted to create something that had minimal impact on the existing plastics and be adaptable for future mods. I was having a hard to drilling and cutting into the brand new machine! Looking back after chopping the top and all it has been through, it is not that big of deal now.

Man I wish I had the capability to wrap my hear around this. Everytime I read a thread on this , it hurts my brain. So not good at picturing or knowing where to even START. I need wiring for dummies and elementary instructions on how to complete..ugh
Really pretty easy just wire ur batteries parallel
Which means pos+ to pos+ negative - to negative-
U can also add a battery isolater so ur main battery will not get discharged if u have lights and etc running i dont have a good picture at the moment but the isolater is wired in to either battery u can do it and yes i agree some times hard to tell were all the wires are going in a picture lol
thanks, its more trying to figure out "buss bar", "battery isolators", fuse block, then wiring all accessories to switch and such..heads spinning just thinking about it..lol
Yes it can be confusing but take ur time there are lots of good videos on the tube but first thing is get ur isolater installed i will get the xact wiring on mine tomorrow and post back and ur accessories are wired to ur second battery and or fuse block figure out if u want accessories to come on with key on or off will be one of ur decisions
Hope this makes sense

My advice is to wire it ALL at the same time. I added one switch at a time and now I probably have twice as many wires back and forth to the switch panel than needed if I planned it all out ahead of time. I'm (half) tempted to start over from scratch when it gets warmer out. But then why bother if everything is working the way I wanted it. If there is a problem later, it'll be hard to trouble shoot.

Read the links in here. Good info to make a system from scratch. It explains relays and how they work, switches, fuse box, buss bars, resources for connectors, switches wires etc. You don't have to go crazy like that but lots of good info.
