I've seen people having an extra car battery in the boot for the extra ICE they have.
I am thinking of installing a small extra battery in the arm rest to boost the power of my existing racing battery. Question is, what is the proper way or doubling a battery and is there a problem with mixing different battery types and size? For instance, can I add a small 12v motorcycle battery with the 12V car battery? |

Why an extra battery instead of a high powered alternator? If you're using more power while driving than your alternator puts out an extra battery is going to do absolutely nothing for you.
The extra battery just gives you extra reserve power if you're using a lot of power while not driving the car. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
