[TR] Accessory power in +ground TR3

[Carl TR]

Has anyone installed a second battery (-ground) to power accessories in a
TR3?   I am planning a fairly lengthy road trip this summer and would like
the benefits of GPS, phone charger, and maybe computer hookup. 

 

I am wondering if it is possible to create a completely closed wiring setup
for that purpose using a smaller motorcycle or marine battery.  It would
require charging periodically (or a trickle charger) and be completely
insulated from the body/frame.  

 

What would I need between the battery and accessory outlets (besides a fuse
box)?  



 

Any thoughts or suggestions?  (or is it even possible?)

Thanks

 

Carl
