Funny, I just hooked up the Hella Aux battery kit to a
"Yellow top" Optima battery. I followed the
instructions but i did NOT touch the wires going to
the fridge relay....SO my setup is separate from the
fridge light and sink pump. The battery charges fine
and the relay separates the two batterys when the
ingition is turned off. I use the battery to power
fans, a light, and TV/VCR.

Maybe theres a better way, becouse i would have LIKED
to have the aux battery also powering that juice
hogging westy interior light/fridge.

which i think i did correctly becouse it charges
