RE: trailer battery and isolation, is this the way to go?

I don't get this part.  The discharged battery is essentially a "load" to 
the charged battery.  Whenever I've put a large load on a battery, either 
the wiring was sized to handle the load, or the wire gets super hot and 
melts stuff.  I don't think there will be enough resistance in the wire to 
limit the current.
