Post by: robert mitchell on December 20, 2013, 08:41:42 pm: Smart relay is easy , it just gets wired in between the two batteries, so you have a positive wire from van battery to relay the positive from relay to second battery , same with negative wire , or you can attach negative to the body of the van to earth it .
