want to run a 2nd battery in the back

[CMattox23 10+ year member]

Got a couple of questions just to double check. Do I need anymore fuses that the one that I have now between the battery under the hood and amp? Do I need to run a ground wire from the (-) of the 1st batt. to the (-) of 2nd batt? If there is anything else I need to know, please inform me I'm not tryin to **** somethin up. Thanks

ignore the noob bro its people like that that drive new members off

you just need to make sure you ground the rear batt very well

and use a 2nd fuse at the back just to be safe.

Noob i don't think so according to join date i joined in 2008 and you joined 2009. Further more its useless threads like this that make the server and the database slow why because people come in here and as a question that has already been answered at least 100 times if not more. Then to bump the thread no more then 10 min a part.

thanks I appreciate it man. I should back off though, quins has proven to be too much of a hardass for me to possibly handle..might get my *** kicked

Do I fuse it after the 2nd battery or before it?

Oh golly. Sorry I asked for a question to be answered when the diagrams in the thread you linked me too had expired. Makes shit hard to understand when you can't see it. I've already been there before you linked it.

What is so hard to understand? You make 2 runs from your front battery to your back battery one pos and one neg with a neg ground at the back battery with the pos run fused both front and back no more then 18 inches from the battery. i think my 10year old son could under stand and do it with out pictures.

why would you run a ground from the front battery to the rear and then ground the rear battery again?

exactly!!!!!

just run 1 positive with a fuse at each end and ground the rear battery in the rear to the best ground you can find such as the frame or a shock/strut tower.
