running a second battery.

[AmericanBass 10+ year member]

i have a kinetic 2000w high output.

the question i have is how do i run the second battery to juice up my amp?

do i run the battery up from to the kinetic or do i run the kinetic straight to the alt?

sounds like a dumb question but i guess i'll ask just to be safe. thanks.

(only reason i ask is because i've never done it before. lol)

from battery to battery. you want the two batteries to be equal and charge equally. fuse all positive wires at each battery - for short circuit protection (ANL fuses sized for the wire). I assume the batteries are in different locations? if the batteries are side-by-side you do not need to fuse between them - just any wire that leaves them.
