Using Deka Battery Isolator to Charge Battery Bank on Shuttle Bus

Question:

So im in the middle of a shuttle bus conversion, and it already has a 3000w inverter installed. My question is can I install my 3 battery bank in the back in series by piggy backing off of the positive and negative cables already ran to it? I want to be able to charge all batteries when driving around and then be able to use the bank to run tv, fan,ext... Without draining the starting battery. Thanks.

The Deka Battery Isolator # DW08771 is what you'd need for what you are looking to do. I attached a wiring diagram that shows how it wires up but basically you'd just need to wire the battery 2 auxiliary you see in the picture as a battery bank wired in series like you are wanting. This adapter then would allow you to charge these batteries as needed without draining the vehicle battery.
