Wiring Lead-acid Batts


Recommended Posts

Noob Question:

In my S-10 I have a new Everstart Maxx battery which does 850CCA and I have a extra batt lying around. Its an Interstate batt. which does roughly the same CCA but it not at a full charge. Is it possible to wire these together +/+, -/- with one in under the hood and one in the walk-through area?

What problems would having the Interstate batt not fully charged wired with the New Everstart batt pose??

When I say not fully charged I mean the Interstate on not so cold days will start the truck but on days below 10 degrees its dead. Which requires a quick jump-start to get it to start.

Thanks and sorry for such a noob question.

Derp.

Its a junk battery. I wouldn't put it in there. Its gonna bring the other one down with it.

those aren't really intended for inside anyway are they? what with the gas they give off?

DHFHades - Didn't know that.

yeah, it's on here somewhere, that when lead acid batteries charge they give off some gas that is not very good for you, I wanna say sulfardioxide but I'm not 100% sure on that

Don't put flooded batteries in your cabin.

Firstly, as mentioned, they release gas when charging (Sealed batteries will still do this if over-charged) and secondly if they leak/spill acid it will burn right through your carpet and out through the floor ;/
