Rewired interior power sockets to run off 2nd Battery

[puckitpuck]

Is it possible?

If I can use power from the 2nd battery to power existing 12V power sockets instead of the starter battery.

To me it seems possible, but I have not find the wiring diagram yet.

Anyone have any idea?

Hi puckitpuck,

Here's the 12V power point socket assm wiring diagram that you've requested! Please be aware that these 12V sockets (Blue Arrows) are ALL wired together in parallel, so they will all be on or off together! "See below":



You'll need to move/disconnect your B5 junction-box, Light Grn power supply wire (left-side of dash), to a field supplied wire from your NEW 2'nd battery. NOTE: It may be much easier just to implement a A/B/A-B switch (as most off-roaders use), and dis-connect the starting battery from the accessory circuit when the vehicle is not running to save the starting battery's energy...(?) it's your choice! 'Best to you',

What I did, and what I think is easier, is to just do this: Buy some 12v outlets on Amazon for cheap and just run a fused wire directly to that from your 2nd battery. Simple, clean, and effective.

I just did this over the weekend, but is off my solo Northstar 27f AGM. Fused connection run down the kick panels.
