After our 24v Battle Born Lithium Battery upgrade I needed to find a new location for our 12v starter battery. I also needed to add a backup battery with selector switch as I could no longer rely on jump-starting the 12v starter battery off our new 24v house bank. This meant creating a whole new battery box on the other side of the bulkhead and splicing in a new vent pipe into the existing one.
