There is a 12v, ign,6,4,2 and 0

Only thing not sure on is do I put a fuse in between both the 12v and the ign or not ????
Thanks in advance :-)

That depends on the size of cable you have used to connect to the batteries

The bigger the cable, the faster the battery will charge.

The cable you have should be protected by a 5 amp fuse.

It has not charged from the day I managed to fit it lesuire battery has stayed on 11.6 even on a two hour drive
Have been told to earth it chassis and run a fat live to lesuire battery straight from the starter battery is this a good idea ?
Thanks in advance :-)
