Still need to install all my lights though.

 

I finally installed it and finished the setup.
I made a small video explaining my parts used and why I installed a second battery.
My wife asked me why install a second battery, well I have been on jobs where my lights have to be on for 12+ hours and found my battery to be drained just enough to need a jump. So not wanting to rely on others and even having to carry around a jumper (although I actually do anyway) I installed a second battery and run everything off of it via a small fuse box.

interesting..

What are the potential downfalls from a setup like this?

none that I can think of. I put fuses on every way that power runs and get all the benefits of having the safety net.

How did you wire you ACC wire to engage the isolater?  Pics?  No problems with the "smart" alternator not charging the second battery completely?
