Question:
I have added a truck crane with small winch to my service body. It has a small 12v battery that I would like to wire into the truck system to stay charged. What do I need?

If you're looking to change an on-board auxiliary battery from the main battery then I recommend using the Redarc Smart Start Battery Isolator with Wiring Kit part # 331-SBI12KIT. This kit has everything you need to hook up the auxiliary to the start battery and it has built-in features to prevent the auxiliary battery from draining the start battery.
