your friend is what 16? he probably knows what he is talking about.. go with him..

Atleast you didn't make the mistake of asking a shop that all they want is money.. they woulda sold you 2 lol.. do as posted above.. hook it up.. if lights dim horribly check grounds.. if all is good.. 2nd batt time
