Here are one of many ways to run a dual battery set up.
Yes I know about the isolators but I am cheap. So I got a Cole-Hersee Cont. duty solenoid rated at over 100 amps cont. It only cost me 20.00 for the solenoid as well. Follow link.

Well said Snowybowtie. Actually the batteries are in parallel just with the solenoid in the middle. I was going to run pos to pos and neg to neg. as Oryano is going to do, but for the price of the cont. duty solenoid and some free welding cable (shhh don't tell).
I could not pass it up. Plus this may sound wierd, but I love to wire stuff.

The switch energizes the coil in the cont. duty solenoid when I want to charge the other battery. I could hook it up to a feed from the ign. in the run state so it would be automatic, but I want to be able to control it.

Wyaldman,
I understand what you mean by having a manual switch. I have not wired this thing yet and I might let an ign. feed energize the
coil on the solenoid.
