dual batteries

[Cowboys97x]

Does anyone know where I could mount a second battery. I would much rather put the second battery under the hood if that is possible. And if anyone knows where then could they tell me the best way to attach the 2 batteries together to get the best out of both.
Any advice will help. Thanks

if im not mistaken.. wire them in series, and put it where you have room. u can put it in your trunk, but will need some heavy gauge wire to connect them.

Yeah the thing with the battery location helps but I still need a pretty detailed description as to how to wire the batteries together. I wish the one that wrote it would have been more detailed by he wire the batterie to a switch how they charge etc...

You can wire them through a good marine isolator ( Guest makes good ones ) and charge two batterys from 1 alternator.

Just curious, but why do you want 2 batterys?

Good luck,

i meant parallel.. wire them in parallel like that link shows. i was thinking of something else..

I am putting my 2nd battery where the airbox used to be, and I am using the parts from http://www.hellroaring.com/
to combine/isolate them.

thanks that is really helpful. It was excactly what I was looking for. I want the batteries because I'm running speakers, winch, auxliary lights front and back, and an air compressor for shocks.
