Dual battery setup?

I got 2 batteries running in parrallel with one another.I got a 150 amp anl fuse between the batteries. The length of them in parrallel is about 17 feet from one another. I heard this is bad plus the one battery is maybe a stock or an upgrade then the new battery I incorporated is a kinetic thats 17 feet maybe from my stock battery. I have no battery isolator but have yet to have any problems with both batteries. What should I do or what problems could occur?? One problem I heard could occur is that when the car is off the batteries would drain one another eventually killing one another and ruining them. What problems am I looking to have and how could I avert this??

it'll drain the main battery if you paly the music with the vehicle off w/o a Battery isolator. With a battery isolator it'll switch to just your kinetic battery when the vehicles off therefore not draining the main one.

i would get a 200 amp selonoid instead of the isolator.you loose
more amperage going through that iso it turn into heat. thats

why they have them heat sinks on the side.they have diodes
inside them. and the selonoid costs less
