that fuse works great when you have an intermittent slow draw that would otherwise kill the battery...I have to pull each night or the battery goes dead.....both times I used my meter to try and track it down I found nothing..

Have you checked to make sure the glove box light isn't staying on?

That happend to me but would only kill my oold junk battery ... I know this is kinda off topic but how do you wire dual batter so it stays only a 12v system? And can the stock alternator handle that?

I have never done it, so I can't help, but there are threads on the topic. I know the search function sucks, but try it, and see what comes up.

You run the second battery in parallel with the first. Connect the 2 positive terminals together and ground the negative. Stock alternator will be fine. Or you can use a battery isolator to keep the systems seperate and from draining each other.
