Was wondering if it was a good idea to install a second battery into my Zed due to running 2 amps, and a carputer, plus all the other parts that are on zeds. id imagine its not doing my alternator any good trying to recharge the battery when everything is being ran.

 

Was thinking of taking the live feed for the amps and pluming the second battery into the AMP fuse box in the boot, and then earthing the battery on the same point as my AMPs do, using 12gauge copper wire. only thing is, the ideal place to put a battery is taken up by a 10" subwoofer.

 

Anyone know if id run into issues doing this?

 

Or any good 12v small batterys? i have a spare battery for a zed but its bloody large, and i dont want it floating around the boot getting into trouble.

what about one of those flux capastitors or what ever there called?

I have got 3, just trying to get some help to install my monster ice build

 

Cheerz

You can buy an uprated alternator and a better battery that will run a few amps etc.

 

You will have to buy a new alternator anyway if you put a 2nd battery in.

 

try this..

get a mobility scooter battery you can get a 18amps that will help for about £20 and there only about 2 inch thick by about 6 wide and 5 high!

So how are you going to charge the second battery?! :whistling:

look up and see

well, the live wire for the amps runs from the + terminal on the battery in the bay thats connected to the alt, this then runs the length of the car into the boot area where there is a fuse box (yes i know your supposed to have a fuse closest to the battery, but blame the guy who installed this the first time around)

 

Just before the fuses where the main live runs into the fuse box, is 2 connectors for the live feed into the fuse holder, i tap a 12gauge copper wire into this connector before the fuse. it will be taking a direct live feed from the battery and alt. thus charging the battery, then its a simple case of earthing the battery correctly on the numerous earth points on the rear of the car.

 

Car batteries are supposed to be linked pos to pos, and neg to neg, and not in series, it will give me twice the storage capacity if i have the same batteries.

all I was thinking was that if you are concerned about how many amps the alternator is outputting to charge your battery, regardless of if you have one or 2 batteries you are going to have the same consumption on the joint batteries so the alternator will still need to output the same amount.

ahhhhh cock thats why i keep going back in time then. fitted the wrong bloody things :lol:
