kl0wn Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Either wire the extra battery in parallel to the extra battery in the back, so front battery + to back battery +, front battery - to back battery -. Or either wire in series, front + to back -, front - to back +. That's only ways i've ever wired an extra battery, also don't forget to throw 2 fuses in there, 1 close to front battery, other close to 2nd battery Quote 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
