I need some help wiring up my dual batteries. I have a red top for starting and a yellow top for my winch and air compressor. I want to be able to winch and take power only from the yellow top and not use the red top for anything but starting. I know I need an isolator but which one will work? Also how do I wire the isolator? I'm so lost with all of this :? :?

Will this work?

Ok I've got this idea for my dual battery setup. I have a red top optima and a yellow top optima. For the red top I keep everything wired the same from the factory, but for the yellow top I run a groung from the battery to the block and a wire from my alternator to the positive on the yellow top. I also will be hooking up my winch to the side terminals of the yellow top. I want to charge both batteries from my alternator but keep them completely seperate in their functions. Will this work or do I need to put something between the two wires at the alternator to keep the batteries from discharging through these wires?


Does this make sense to anyone? I don't know if it will work. What do ya'll think? Please help I'm freaking out.
