battery

If I get another battery hooked up to the car, how do I wire it so it gets recharged as with the stock battery? Would I need another alternator?Thx.

Just wire it in parallel, + to + , - to -

or look for a split charging system

Get a dual battery isolator. I have 2 Optima Red tops and I am going to install one so that my second battery in the bed gets charged along with the main battery.

From Warn.com:
Battery Isolators.
Because of the increased demands a winch and other accessories place on the DC power supply, many vehicles have multiple batteries-one to start the engine and another to power accessories.
The WARN battery isolator prevents the problem of multi-battery drain. So no matter how drained your accessory battery becomes, it will never drain power from the battery you're depending on to start your engine.

PN 28022 120 amp rated.
PN 22630 95 amp rated. ('86 and newer GM applications require connector kit. Will not fit '73-76 Jeep Vehicles).
PN 36494 GM Isolator Connector Kit. Required item when installing the PN 22630 isolator on '86 and newer GM applications.
