For the high-current wiring between batteries, it's a good idea to put fuses on both ends in case you have a short in the middle of the big cable between batteries - with one fuse, one of the batteries would not be protected.

Theoretically, each battery will supply half of the current. Of course, in the real world, it usually doesn't work out that way but, with the proper size wiring, shouldn't be too far off.
Ummmmm... For right now let's say I sit in my car for long periods of time and watch movies. It will be just one battery eventually. I have to get my alternator situation sorted (20% UD Stillen crank pulley, and I just ordered a 10% OD alternator pulley from NST to help keep the volts a bit more constant at stops)



I assume that the battery that has the fuse gets the protection? Should I take the fuse out when I do eventually go with 1 battery?
