[QUOTE="smoka, post: 6184228, member: 606721"] 3 batts would be slightly better for power obviously. But mixing 2 redtops with a stock batt will probably lower the lifespan of all the batts. Different batts usually have a slightly different resting voltage. This causes the higher voltage batt to charge the lower voltage batt. This constant charge causes the plates to sulfate prematurely and could kill both batts within a year or more. So I would definitely go with just the 2 redtops. You could get an isolator to seperate the batts, but then that will give you a small voltage drop so you'll lose a few watts from that. [/QUOTE]
