How do you connect a separate set of wires to a battery while it's powering something else?

Simple, wire it directly to the battery posts. Depending on the type of battery you are using, this should be pretty straight forward. If it is a 12 v. car battery or larger and you are worried about getting a poke, simply be certain you don't ground yourself while you are connecting. If smaller, say a 6 v. lantern battery or smaller, you can cut into the existing wires. Smaller wire that carries a lighter load such as these have insulation that can be easily burned away with a cigarette lighter or small torch; burn away the insulation for a small area, wire in your component, and retape the bare wires so they do not cross and short circuit. Do yourself a favor and do one at a time so you don't have to grow a third hand (two to keep the wires apart and one to tape them). Work carefully, and you should have no issues.
