All you need is a duel action solonoid & a volt gauge with a single switch from baterie to baterie. So when you switch it will change bateries

yeah i know the one- looked digital with like bar guage for each battery.

i dont know where to get it, but you could try hunting round those 4bie shops on the net for catalogs etc.

if all that fails just get 2 volt guages

I bought a Piranha dual battery voltage monitor... It is a digital LED readout with a rocker switch for Main or Aux battery. very good unit, bought from ARB Newcastle for around $150.
