what batteries?

its a compatability question size should not matter...

well he wasn't asking about the size...and as long as the wet cells are not inside cabin.

As a rule, I never mix wet and dry. Bad things can potentially happen when you mix them.

elaborate please

as long as they are the same voltage there shouldnt be any problem with linking them together

[Decaf]

ive done it before

i wouldnt again tho, sometimes they charge a different rates and discharge at different rates

this makes it very hard to keep both batts at the same voltage when one will always be drawin current from the larger one

in a perfect world ud have the same batts under the hood as in the trunk

[Boon]

The flooded ones almost always float at a lower voltage than dry cell (assuming you mean gel or AGM) so there's always a small trickle of current running from the dry to the wet. In theory it will run the battery flat after a while.

well yea you guys are right about the wet drawing from the gels. but only in a perfect world can you use the same kind of batts in the rear as the front. alot of cars only have room for a small wet cell in the front. plus some peoples budgets may not allow for an extra gel cell to go in the front. just a thought is all
