That sounds like the best solution to me! Just to be sure though if I just want to add the extra wire from the alternator to the battery, then there would be 2 wires connected directly to the alternator? The original wiring, and then the extra wire I just added. Then if I add extra items that require more power then I just need to connect directly the battery?

Thanks again Michael, you are a very big help!
