New Battery in trunk
Tuesday, September 06, 2005 2:44 PM
Ok, i've searched, and all I can find is posts about re-locating your battery to the trunk. I was wanting to add a second battery in the trunk for my air ride and subs. I have a red top in the front and I want to add a yellow top to the back. A buddy of mine told me to run 4 gauge or bigger wire to the back battery from the front battery and ground the back battery. Of course putting a fuse in between batteries. Is that all I have to do? Thanks.

wysiwyg is correct. Click my sig, I have done this back in 98. Just ground the trunk battery in the trunk. You should also seal it in an enclosure and vent the battery outside of the vehicle.

wysiwyg nice sig! I can't believe no one has cried about it and made you remove it, like that hot bouncing redhead last year.

Hindenburg... lol

You would think that the hydrogen would mix with the oxygen and make water but that wouldn't happen.
