Live feed wire for leisure battery

[Muttley91]

Hi everyone,
Had a look and a search but couldn't find my answers!

I am going to put a leisure battery in my 2.1MV petrol Caravelle Syncro. I have some great help on standby but I need to find out what wire I can take a feed off to connect to the relay. I need one that is only live when the engine is running, any ideas, preferably located in the engine bay as the battery is located in the rear quarter.

Many thanks,
Rich

You use a feed from the small blue exciter wire (rear of the alternator) as the switch for the relay (so the relay only switches with the engine running).
Use some good heavy 50amp cable to connect the batteries either side of the relay....40amp fuses close to each battery.

Go for a heavy duty relay 60 amp should do it.
