Posted March 22, 200817 yr Hooking up a second battery is something I've never done. Do I run a wire from the starter battery to the secondary battery. Or do i run a wire from my alternator to the secondary battery. What kind of fuse do I use? More than 1 on each end?Thanks
March 22, 200817 yr One on each positive termination and you can run power from either the front battery or the alternator
March 22, 200817 yr Author Ok ill do the battery since thats a WHOLE lot easier. What kind of fuse? 300A with 1/0awg?
March 26, 200817 yr is an isolator or relay required for this? Also, what is the main bennefit? Just being able to play without the car on? Doesn't the alt have to run twice as long to recharge both batteries?
March 26, 200817 yr An isolator only really gives you the benefit of playing the stereo with the car off and still being able to start the car after you're done.
