Disconnected and put hot ends in old pieces of rubber hose when not charging so no dead shorts. Heck, on a charter sailboat many years ago, I used a bolt and nut to connect both battery banks and alternator B+ together for charging. Most high voltage situations have to do with resistance on sense wire (artificially telling the alternator that it senses lower than actual voltage at the battery).

And gives you many options in terms of battery combine, whether to charge the house bank while driving, etc. Alternator B+, chassis battery and sense wire to one lug and house battery to the other. Have also wired our Foretravel with a simple marine ON-OFF switch, replacing the diode-based isolator. Did this for 3 weeks in the out islands of the Bahamas, as no parts were available.
