In another thread I'm describing my stereo upgrade but have a more general battery switch wiring question that I thought warranted a new thread.
I'd like to wire my amp to a battery switch that will allow it to play off either my port 1, 2 or both battery bank depending on the position of the switch. Its the switch on the left. I don't want it to draw off the same battery all the time and I don't want it to draw off both batteries all the time unless its in the "both" position. Is this possible? If so, where do I connect it to? My thought was to actually connect it to the switch that turns the power to my generator on and off. Its the orange one. The generator can be powered with either battery No. 1, 2 or both depending on the position of the switch. But is not powered by the starboard battery.
