1998 Chevy Express 2nd Battery Installation
#31
What is your shopping list
The second battery is a deep cycle battery that exclusively runs the van's entertainment system. That system includes a 1000W inverter that runs a TV, BluRay, gaming system, etc. The inverter can also run other appliances that require "house power" (120VAC). Having a second battery on a battery isolator allows key-off use of the entertainment system without the risk of draining the van's starter battery. Hope this helps.

i also used two sets of installgear 0/4/8/10 gauge battery terminals ($17.95), one feature that attracted me to these battery terminals is that they don't need terminal lugs crimped onto the wires. The 150a circuit breakers are the same way.
