Adding a second battery

[DefendHawaii]

There is a battery store in the city they have great deals on deep cycle interstate batteries. I wonder how difficult to set up running the second battery? I found a high output alternator for 60.00 on Craigslist if that helps. I got my bullbar and lighting today not starting to build it all together.

I got two big 1000amp batteries from costco. I have the second spot already set up. I am running a new battery in the regular spot an a smaller 680AMP one in the spare spot. Trying to get the wiring set up now. Can I just use that second battery as a power source for my HID's and not have it run off the alternator?

Wait.... what? do you mean just off the battery without recharging it at all.

not really it was an option at manufacturing I believe or someone swapped it in place of the storage box. anyone can do it really.
