If you REALLY need an extra battery (I can't see why though), the simplest connection is to put one under the other side of the rear seat, and wire it in parallel to the main battery (positive to positive and negative to negative). That's quite a lot of spare amps to play with. So the stock 55amp alternator has about 30-35 amps "spare" for powering add-on accessories and for charging the battery. The stock electrical system uses about 20 amps when the engine, lights and normal radio are on, and more than that momentarily when you use the brakes, horn etc. These keep your main battery separated and charged for starting the car, then a voltage sensitive relay connects the extra battery into the charging circuit, once the alternator is producing power. If you want to keep the batteries separate - using the extra battery only for the add-on electrical load, but still get charged by the alternator when the engine is running, you can buy battery isolator systems from camping (trailer/caravan/4WD) supply places. Why do you think you need a second battery? All that does is increase the time it takes for a battery to go flat if there is a higher current drain than the alternator provides for charging. I wanted to add the second battery for accessories that I may add later.Īlso is there somewhere to buy a high output alternator? I am adding a high end sound system and need a little extra. I am wondering if there is an installation kit or a way to add 2 batteries to my 69 bug.

When the car is turned off, each battery is separated so you can freely use your secondary battery without flattening your primary battery.2 batteries on my 69 bug & high output alternator We do recommend having an override switch on your vehicle so you can manually shut the secondary battery off if you need to. When your vehicle is running, both batteries are connected to your alternator or charging circuit resulting in both batteries being charged and power being able to be used. wire up as we mentioned above however the low current trigger, you’re going to use your ignition power source. Using a Stinger battery isolator for your secondary battery is easy. How Can I Use This For My Secondary Battery? Whenever this terminal gets power, your turning on the battery isolator. This terminal is connected to a switched 12-volt power source either via a switch or an ignition source. This terminal is connected to the vehicle’s ground signal/chassis body if metal. This terminal is connected to the device or vehicle you are wanting to power on This terminal is connected to the battery or power source High current power in, high current power out, chassis ground and low current trigger. each Stinger Electronics battery isolator has 4 terminals like a basic relay. Wiring up a battery isolator is quite simple.

By default, when the battery isolator is not powered on, no energy or voltage can pass through. This is a neater way instead of physically disconnecting the battery from the vehicle.

These are often used in marine or agricultural work to physically disconnect the battery power from the vehicle or device it is hooked to.
