[QUOTE="CarAudioAddict, post: 145069, member: 545743"] First off - YES you can use two different batteries as long as they are both 12-volt. With your set-up the two batteries are never joined together so there is no problem. Go with a deep-cycle battery for the stereo and a regular battery for the car itself. I would get a battery isolator instead of a relay switch, more reliable and 100% automatic. An even better set-up would be to have two completely separate electrical systems (2 alts, 2 batteries). This way the two systems are completely independant and you don't have to worry about isolators or relays at all. [/QUOTE]
