    Dual Batteries on WK

    I want to set up dual batteries on my WK. Has anyone mounted another under the hood or any other location? Any ideas or setups will help?

    I saw a thread here someplace that shows to Optimas mounted under the hood. I will see if I can find it again.

    valpacer on here has it, I actually just asked him about his setup a few days ago.. so here is a link to his pics

    They are D34's. 34/78 are same size but just have extra side terminals. There is a small amount of the strut tower that needs to be trimmed to fit them, the the bracket that holds the fuse boxes needs to be removed and a new one made to sit them further back.

    All credit goes to valpacer for the above..

    Sal did a 2nd battery. One of the 4whl mags just did an article on them.

    May need higher output alternator.
