ok im doing a dual battery setup in my 86 22r truck becaues i have 4 off road lights and a 12000 lb winch so i need some more power.

1 what do i have to do to hook up the 2nd batterie for extra amps not volts right? i think i go pos to neg and neg to pos for more amps which is what i want.

2 do i just strait wire the winch to the batterie or do i have to have some kind of fuse or something?

thanks, Josh

 

You can get a isolation switch (try a marine store) that offers a variety of charging/using/voltage options.

Parallel Wiring multiplies the amps, keeps the voltage the same
series doubles the voltage keeps the amps the same.

 

Lots of options on dual batteries and almost all of them are covered in the dual battery FAQ thread.
