There must be threads out there covering this, but I can't seem to find what I need (and I have little to no electrical experience, so bear with me). Just finished wiring a second battery in my 100 series cruiser, using the T-max kit and 2awg cable (used this as a guide).
So now I'm getting to wiring the accessories. I've got a winch wired to my starter battery, and am planning on running led tent/hatch lights, a few rear 12v plugs, an arb fridge, and an inverter off of the aux battery. I had planned on using a Blue Sea 6-circuit fuse block in the rear of the vehicle, and wiring everything to it, but with the addition of an inverter (600w xantrex), I'm wondering what the best way to wire everything is. Should the inverter be wired directly to the aux battery, separate from the fuse block? Ideally I'd like to run as few cables as possible. And what gauge cable should I be using?
