I'm building a 'house' battery box for the back of my truck.
Plan is to wire the house battery in parallel with the starter battery, with a voltage sensing relay inline on the hot side so that the battery charges off my alternator, then disconnects when my truck is off.

I have two questions:
>What type of quick disconnect can I put on the side of my battery box that will handle the amperage of my alternator?
>If I have some 12v accessories connected to my house battery, say a laptop charger, while my alternator is running will that fry anything?
