2 up & Down


When I drove a Jeep we used an isolation switch.
It had a 3-way elect. position, and a big red removal key.

We could isolate which battery we were charging, or drawing off of, or we could draw from, or charge both at the same time.

I think it would be better to place your second battery in the trunk.
Please use a sealed plastic battery box for safety sake.
Now you can go upwards of 1000 CCA and you can get a big truck battery that fits that bill.

The best hot feed cable would be a welding cable.
Just ground the Neutral to the body, or frame.

You might want to invest in a better alternator.
A "Mean Green" has an advertised 3 times the output of oem.

There are many other alternators just as good.
It would be best to choose one that fits the oem spot.
