Adding an extra battery


Recommended Posts

In the very near future, I will be adding an extra battery in my trunk to help with electrical power with the amps that will be in my trunk. Right now, my system doesnt need the whole nine yards of alts, batts etc but as I put high rated amps in there I will be doing this. I was wondering if any one had, or if its already on here could you point me in the right direction, a diagram of how to wire, and the the right wiring, to put a battery back there. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

That amp would fuck the shit out of those subs. It would roofie them, knock them out with chloroform, then make sweet, gentle, anal love to them all night.

Just wire + from the front batt to + on the rear batt with 1/0, then ground the second batt in the rear. Fuseholders on both ends of the wire and you'll be good to go

to wire in a second battery you can either run + to + and - to - and upgrade the ground on the stock battery or +to+ and ground the second battery VERY good to the frame sanded down very solid if your new to this i recommend just wiring the batteries together it will be easiest and you dont need to worry about making a ground for the second battery depending on the power you run either add another run of 4 gauge wire from the stock battery to ground or upgrade it to 1/0 gauge and dont forget to put at least one fuse on the + run

Umm + fuse + and - with -.... Not a rocket science my friend .

I know its not, but knowing me and just searching for it myself i would find some way to fuck it up lol

Just wire + from the front batt to + on the rear batt with 1/0, then ground the second batt in the rear. Fuseholders on both ends of the wire and you'll be good to go

never heard of an isolater or batteries killing eachother haha. If you wire them the way I told you, you should be fine. +to+ -to- I do recommend upgrading the ground from the stock battery like I said. Grounds are important.

Do both the fuses have to be the same or do you need a larger one up front
