Here is the wiring diagram to go with it

This has all the options you could want. Automatic charging of both batteries, batteries hooked together for starting and winch operation and switch option for starting if red battery is discharged.

I got my continuous duty 250 amp solenoid from NAPA. Don't use the non continuous duty one.
