I've finally gotten around to installing my redarc dual battery system and I'm not sure if it is actually working xD
Any pointers for testing?

If it's glowing red it should be working, when the light is off it means the main battery is below 12.8
Run the car when the main hits 13v it should light up

The touch the blue wire to 12+ feed and you will manually click over, when the redarc is red it means it's running both batteries

Cheers guys! Guess it IS working

But I managed to strip the override cable all the way back into the box :/ I was only doing it the normal way I do it but oh well, I now have a completely exposed wire... Any suggestions on how to insulate it?

Yeah, I just don't want to heat the soleniod to much and wreck it

Ahhh, this type of shrink wrap you could shrink with a lighter, the woman's hair dryer, or a match..no need to get too hot.

Just in case you dont know where to get heat shrink from, most electrical hobby shops have it, like Dick Smiths etc...

go to the electrical wholesaler and get some, hair dryer flat out will work, will just take a little longer, much safer near your solenoid rather than a heat gun
