already told you how to wire this, put the input of the dc-dc charger on the main lugs of the secondary battery option, this will charge the secondary battery correctly, but you will not be able to parallel them for additional capacity if this was your intention
It was partially my intention, yes. But also, it still doesn't address the need to properly charge the starting battery, since the OEM alternator will not do that properly for these types of batteries.
What is the purpose of connecting the DC to DC charger input to the Genesis output? Why wouldn't I just completely remove the Genesis isolator? Trying to learn here...
your not going to be able to do that, does this kit come WITH the battery's? its not worth the expense to try to change the start battery charging characteristics, personally i would change the battery to one that falls inline with the charging style of the jeep.
the reason to keep the isolater is simple, you run your accessory loads off the secondary battery, fridge lights radio's etc, and if you kill the battery, you will still be able to start the truck. thus the need.
you can take it a step further and add another solenoid to get your jump start feature back, but thats another topic.
and no the input of the dc-dc would come from the isolater terminals going to what was the second battery, the output of the dc-dc would connect to the 2nd battery.
