P1000 How to wire on a switch to turn power "on" from second battery

[sugarray]

So, i have been thinking and I would like to change my set up a little. I'd like to have a switch to turn on that will then let the power from the 2nd battery run my accessories. I don't want to activate it via turning the key on.

Is there a way to do this?

Will you be detailed in your explanation?

Thanks!

P1000 - Help!! Wiring switch panel and voltmeters

That thread should help.

In a nutshell. You can run a DPDT switch with power coming from a keyed source and from the 2nd battery to the switch. And the output from that switch going to a solenoid that is located upstream of the fuse panel for your second battery. That way you can use the switch to run off of keyed power, or you can use it with the machine off.

When you apply power to the solenoid it will complete the circuit allowing you to use the accessories.

I used an Amazon stinger solenoid between the second battery and the fuse/relay box. It just runs to a regular 5 pin switch I turn off and on when I need accessory power and don't what the key on.

I use the Honda accessory power to run the light on just the master second battery switch and the stock battery voltmeter.

lol, if amazon doesnt sell it, it doesnt exist.

Mine came in my switch plate i ordered on amazon. Some people get them in the True battery isolator kit.

something like this will work: MICTUNING DC 12V LED Digital Display Voltmeter Waterproof for Boat Marine Vehicle Motorcycle Truck ATV UTV Car Camper Caravan Blue Digital Round Panel: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

What did you use to cover the air intake beside your bussman Relay? And is it necessary to have to cover it?

I cut a piece of rubber mat that fit the hole tightly.. then put the pourus stock prefilter back in the hole. I drilled 1/2" holes in the bottom for drains. I didn't want water sitting in there under my fuse box so yes I think it's necessary.
