Battery Relocation

ok, i was gonna replace my battery w/ a gell cell type deep cycle battery, but the one i got is too tall(the one below it isnt enough, and the one above is more than i need, plus bigger), so im gonna put it in the trunk, and have 2 batteries. my ? is, does anyone have this, i know ive seen one person had it, but didnt have the battery untill after i saw his pics, anyway, can anyone tell me who makes a gook kit?

thanks

easy, just like running a second battery in the trunk, alls you have to do is run a positive line to the front of the vehivle to reatatch to the vehicle electrical system, ground just bolt to the frame.

but since this will be your main battery, id make DARN sure it was a fabulous ground connection and also a solid connection for that positive wire. i personally would use 4 guage for that cable, cause I wouldnt know what would be required, and overkill is better than a drained battery caused by too much cable resistance.

well, its not going to be my main battery WhiteRabbit, its going to be the one for my system. the factory battery is gonna take care of the rest, this way i dont kill the one that powers the car.

in that case, its easy. you haver the powe3r cable already run. all you hve to do is use an isolator, so that the starter battery is completely isolated from what runs your stereo
