I am thinking of putting a dual battery set-up in my Wrangler. I am also going to be putting in a 130-200amp alternator.
I have front and rear plows on this truck that draws the battery and alt. on heavy load for 6 to 8 hour stretches. After running through single batteries year after year, typically failing at the worst possible time, I am thingking aobut upgrading.
I would think i would like to use one for the regular vehical equipment and the other for optional equipment. I would like to keep these working in-tandam(together), because the load is almost constant when plowing. How should I wire the dual battery set-up? Simple jumper wiring from the main battery to the 2nd battery for both the power and grounds or should I be doing something more elaborate?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck B.
