[QUOTE="HowLowd, post: 315762, member: 550161"] If done correctly you would be adding in an isolator to the setup this would keep the two batteries seperate. As crhye250r said the two will attempt to level the charge. This is where the problem comes in. If you drop the charge on the rear battery without it being completely isolated from the front it will in turn drop the charge at the front battery. In addition with only 65 amps from your alternator you ARE NOT going to properly be able to sustain the charge on both batteries for long. My recommmendation would be in this order 1-Higher Output Alternator 2-Wired MBR 70 (IMO The best Isolator on the market-On ebay for about 50$ all the time) 3-Let me know when you want a yellow top, I get them for about 80$ That would gibe you all of the elementts of a dual battery system with ample charge to support both and not worry about the vehicle not being able to start due to low charge at the front battery.
