Splitting up the batteries and charging
I want to install a second battery dedicated to running the forced air furnace. I know there are going to be a lot of suggested alternatives like generators, catalytic heaters, rent a space with hook...

Gordon Three and Drew,
I've noticed when the heater is running on a cold evening, then we have a couple lights on and turn on the water, the lights dim and the heater fan slows. This would leave the heater alone when we mess with other 12v draws. Also, on a real cold night, say 20-30 degrees and the heater cycles through out the night and pulls the battery down to say 40%, I will wake up to nice bright lights and easy running pump. Really that's the whole idea.
