Which Battery?
As most of you know, the PSD comes standard with dual batteries. My question is when hooking up accessories directly to the battery, which one do you connect to, because i believe they are connected in series. Does it make a difference?

Shouldn't make a diffrence. Hook them up to the one that is most convinient. Just keep it away from any computer wires.
On the vans the second battery is down under so it would be stupid to go there.

Your batteries are connected in Parallel, which allows you to have a better current draw, actually dubbles what just battery would give you. If your batteries were connected in series then you would have twice the voltage which would be very bad for a 12 volt system. just some good to know info.
