With this installation configuration, the power audio system would be connected to the Auxiliary Power Distribution shown in the diagram above. It will achieve isolation
between your starting battery and deep cycle battery system. When the engine
is running or when an external charge source is applied to the starting battery,
both batteries will receive a charge automatically.
By using 8 AWG wire between the BIC and a deep cycle Auxiliary battery,
you can use audio amplifiers that, in normal use, can have peak current draws in excess of
95 amps. The wire and BIC will tend to limit the alternator current to the deep
cycle battery. When the audio amp draws a peak beyond the 60 to 80 amp level, most
of the remaining excess is supplied by the deep cycle battery. When the peak drops
off, the deep cycle battery receives replacement charge current. This installation
method can work well when the average audio amp load is less than 50 amps.
