Searched and did not find a thread on installing dual batteries. Has anyone done this?
That's defiantly true if you are running a 'battery bank' like in a solar set up or a golf cart; but if you were to run an isolator, it really doesn't matter since the main battery will be charged first, then the secondary battery and they are isolated from each other. Then you have the decision of what gets hooked to what battery, which makes things more complicated. So, now you have to decide on what kind of dual battery set up you want to run. I ran dual batteries in my old Rhino using and isolator. I could kill my aux battery and still start he Rhino and had my basic stuff and once I killed my main and boosted myself from the aux.I'd go for one big battery is possible. If you do get two, its best to buy two of the same batteries from the same lot.

I like the idea of one good battery as you mentioned. Less headaches unless you are running a crap load of stuff, then defiantly use an isolator set up.
