d luv Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 I will be running two batteries for the first time and have some questions. I have an energizer battery under the hood, and a yellow top for the truck. My question is will these two be ok ran together? I thought someone told me the batteries must be the same, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the input.
SnowDrifter Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 You want all your batteries to be the same, I wouldn't advise running them together. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
BassMunky Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 as long as there both eiter a drycell/drycell, gellcell/gelcell, agm/agm etc etc type of batteries if you know what i mean. They dont have to be the same brands , but have to be the same type of style battery built. One will drain the other battery faster if it not.

HHR Ed Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 If they are not of the same type, you can purchase and use a battery Isolator.

c.director Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 Like everybody else said, no. if they rest at different voltages the lower one will drain the higher voltage batt, I bet that optima rest a good bit higher. I know mine did. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/caleb.arnold.9809 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CustomAudioChannel?feature=watch
