You can do either, it's up to you and what you want to do.

I currently run my audio and lights off the main battery but I have a second battery that I will be installing this year (ran out of time last summer) to run accessories off of. I want to run them off a separate battery so that when we are at the gravel pit I can leave the music on the entire time without worrying about killing the main battery and not being able to start the cart to go home. If you do this you will have to occasionally charge your auxiliary battery when the cart is parked

Or you can run a solenoid between the main battery and the auxiliary battery so that when the cart is running the generator will charge both batteries but when the cart is off the two batteries are independent of each other. That means you can run the auxiliary battery dead without effecting the main battery plus when you start driving the generator will recharge the battery.
