wiring extra batterys

im thinking i may pick up a couple 2400's this weekend. if i were to wire 2 in the back of my truck would i just simply connect the + to + and - to - and then up to the front battery?

RE: wiring extra batterys

get the same size power wire that you already have run to the back, an isolator, . wouldnt hurt to fuse the new lead. make sure you have a good ground.

wire the batteries in parallel.

a nice isolator will charge each battery at the same time and the same rate. dont need an isolator, but you do need to fuse at the battery. that is a must.
