[frnt batt]+----fuse----------------+[rear batt]

This is how u do it-

Front batt-(less than 18" away)-FUSE-----------(less than 18" away from rear batt)-FUSE-rear batt-(less than 18" away from rear batt)-FUSE---amp.

You should add a relay(solenoid) back there too. If you do, the solenoid would go right before the fuse meets the rear battery.

This will prevent the batt from equalizing with the starting batt. When car is on, they will both be charging together but when car is off, they won't share each other's capacity. This should allow them to last longer.

www.oznium.com sells the 200A relays cheap. Be careful though, going to that site has been known to cause LED addictions and there is currently no known LED rehab yet.
