    Haha no I got it mixed up the first time. 130 isn't bad at all. Not enough to pull a winch at night with lots of lights on but I'll bet relocating the volt sensing wire will make everything run at 100% of design capability. I'm still hung up on the details on how to do this best though. From what I gather it has to be sensing something connected to the main block that's always in use. Write up to follow

    Could you split the wire, leave it to the main block and then connected to the aux fuse block? it would since a draw from either or both?

    I don't wanna Jack this thread , but if we figure it out, it'll help all of us on this thread.
    Lets move the volt sensing discussion over here and come back when we figure it out.

    The no acr wants power on the brown wire if the vehicle is off and no power if it is on and then the automatic features of it work great

    Can you use a bus bar on the positive side like you can on negative side, is long as it is fused?

    Yes. You can put as much as you want just as long as you have a fuse (or circuit breaker) b/t the battery and whatever device you're powering (or rocker switch)

    What program did you use to make this wiring diagram? Just recently started on one myself, and I started in Visio, but I'm finding it a little tedious.

    Just go to
    Www.schematics.com man it's free and stores all your stuff online so you can jump around to different computers.
    Its perfect for basic stuff and snaps lines in to your terminals instead of drawing them.
    It leaves some to be desired on technical stuff but it's easy to make work for vehicle diagrams like we use here.

    My name on that site is Tigglebitties if you want to stalk my schematics. Got a couple more in the works

    I finally got around to getting a bunch of the wiring cleaned up. I tested the PAC-200 and it worked just as I wanted it to. I tore out all of the crap wiring I had done in the past and started running better quality wire in a more organized manner.

    The bottom half of the Bussmann is constant power while the top half is triggered by the ignition (through the PAC-200). All of it can be manually shut off with the bluesea switch. Batteries and ML-ACR sit below all of this.

    I tried two or three other "free" sites and found this one was the best.

    The other ones let you draw up stuff all day but charge you to save it on your account
    Or they let you draw em up with better interface but won't let you export them to any useable formats like jpeg or pdf
    So you're left with taking screen shots.

    So most of this dual battery stuff confuses me...I mainly want for for invade I drain mine. I'm running a optima yellowtop. I could just add another battery with a isolator and if I ran the battery down with the sterio or lights I could "jump" myself right ??

    My current accessories are
    -winch
    -boost and afr gauge
    -22" led bar
    -4 LED lights in the bed
    -CB radio
    -line lock
