i dont see why not, when you have a battery in the trunk its not the same as the one under the hood...

i have a stock batt under the hood and the 1800 in the back. i'm gonna put another in the back so ther willl be two. so there will be an 1800 and a 2400 connected pos to pos and neg to neg in the trunk.

it wont matter as long as you stay all kinetik. i believe they are AGM so you have to stick with that you cant put a flooded battery back. its not good to mix old betteries with new b/c the old one will try and recharge from the new one and bring down the life of the new one

wellthe 1800 is old and the 2400 will probably be new. so i shouldn't do that then?

It should work.....

so will the 2400 be drained by the 1800 like andytb said?

but would i be okay just wiring them up like that? it's not like the old 1800 is low or anything. i'll take my chances.

it will work just make sure the old one is fully charged first
