    Add-A-Battery Alternator Wire Question

    I just received my Blue Sea Systems Add-A-Battery kit This One Here and I am not sure where to run positive wire off of the Alternator to. I tried to do some research on this forum and was unable to find the info to make a confident decision. I did however find a diagram on another site and wanted to make sure it was the right set up. It is pictured below. I am not running a massive setup or anything. Just trying to add an additional deep cell marine battery to my 95 SN 196 closed bow so I can actually listen to the radio for more than 30 minutes without getting out of the water to crank the boat for a bit when we are parked. Can you guys shed some light on if the attached diagram below is correct?

      I am guessing that the alternator charge will flow through the starter? I do not have an on-board charger....

        Where is the alternator main feed terminated currently? If its connected to the main post of the starter, as is very common, then leave it as is.

          Yes bet a dollar that the alternator goes to the starter and then the starter to the batteries.

          Just omit the charger from the diagram.

            The alternator wire actually terminates at the start battery. Should I just move the alternator wire to the starter? Making it terminate at the starter?
