Mario928 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Dont mix a stock battery with a new battery.

__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 You can mix batt brands, but make sure the categories of the batts are the same, all AGM batteries. Then run 0g from alt to front batt, front batt parallel to back batts. grounds... etc.. best bet, is go to ur local craiglist, and search for agm batts, i see alot of Deka's, optimas, c&ds, oddysees. etcc.. and run that as ur front and then get that xs as ur backs...

carlzz08 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 i have 2 gauge 4 from alternator to primary and 1 gauge 4 from alternator to 2nd batt.. and 1 gauge 0 from pirmary to 2nd batt i was thinking would it be better if i dont connect the primary and 2nd batt so my 3kw mono would be happy for D3400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you will drain the battery.

carlzz08 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks for the input david! so Option A is still best for me which is my current wiring for my batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
