    How are you folks wiring your dual batteries in general? Are you primarily,
    Using it as a dedicated "aux" circuit for powering specific accessories, like a dedicated 12v circuit to the bed?
    OR
    Wiring it in parallel with a start isolator to provide reserve capacity for the start battery?

    Does that include hard mounted accessories like light bars, etc or just things like fridge, etc?
