pervitizm Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) I raised the hood on my 07 and I notice that my battery is on the passanger side of the truck, while on the driver side behide the fuse box is a place to add a second battery. I want to run a two battery setup for my truck, one for starting the truck, the other for the stereo system. I don't know which batteries to choose, so that's where you guys come in. Now even thought I have an 07, doesn't mean I'm loaded with cash. Gas is a Bitch right now. So it has to be within reason as far as price. I've used the Optima Red top batteries before and was thinking about doing two yellow tops instead, but I'm not sure if I want to go with them do to price. I also want the batteries to last so will I need to get an isolator for them? I'm really looking to stay under $200 if at all possible. Here is the truck. I got it used for around $30K. Its an LT model that didn't come with the bose system(thank god). This is shot of the battery: This is the extra battery bay on the driver side of the truck. Where could I go to get matterial to hold the extra battery in place if I was to mount it here?

andym85 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 you dont really have to choose. you can just wire the batteries together and then from one of them run your wire back to your amps. they would all, in essence, be for starting you car/you system. you can go to lowes or hd and get some thin sheet metal and some good snips. then just cut and bend until u have fabricated something to hold the battery in.

Well Ive heard to run yellow tops or reds tops which ever one is in your price range and you also have to consider what system wise your going to run?

sierra mist Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) I have an 07 Tahoe and I got a couple picked out. Check the Everstart 48-3 from Wal-Mart. Autozone has a Duralast 48-DL. If you are just bent on getting a deep cell, then get a yellow top. I'm sure they can be had for $200 or less. Welcome aboard!

If so do you have any photos to share on how its looks? I'm just trying to get some ideals on how to run the wires and what not.

Pitbullx Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Id stay away from standard redtops, they arent the most durable batteries.... Id go with a pair of Odyssesy batteries 1500/1700/2150 the choice would depend on your system and electrical needs Quote Team Devastation Mixed Martial ArtsMachado Brazilian JiujitsuOnce I lock it on there's no escape I don't train to make you tap, I train to tear your arm, leg, or head off.
