I have ii batteries mounted in the back of my samurai and i was just wandering what the all-time mode to wire them together. I heard of using solenoids and gunkhole switches merely its all very confusing. Just wandering if everyone has done this before and may know a style to wire them together. Whatever input is appreciated.

Are yous looking for the ability to switch between the two batteries or merely have twice the power to run your winch?

The cheapest way is manual switch only. You literally are only running 1 battery or the other at a time. I'm a forgetful fool, and the BIGGEST reason for me to run a dual batt is to have an e'er-working backup to my main bombardment. At that place'south more expensive (and slightly more than circuitous wiring) systems that will automagically go along both batteries charged, but isolated from drain (so, they'll both accuse, just accidentally leaving lights on will only kill ane battery).

i am in the process of doing this myself.
i have a spare marine battery switch(i have a gunkhole) that i'm gonna use.
they are a little pricey, but this one is cole hersey and rated 325 amps. 4 position- i, both, 2, off.
works fine on my gunkhole, and i accept a lot of bombardment in information technology.

I need it to have more power. I accept a 10 000 pound winch plus lots of lights and a stereo

Dual batteries but gives yous more storage. It's the alternator that allows you to run more than lights & other gizzies continuously. Dual batts aren't needed at all for winches.

Dual Batteries will help with a winch if you have them setup in parallel as your doubling your cranking amps.  Or you can run a couple of vi volt industrial batteries (aka, golf auto) in series to get to 12v.  This will have the initial strain off of your alternator when winching.  I tin can run my 9000lb winch all day long with the dual 6v setup with the stock SJ-410 alternator.

Equally Jeremiah said though, if you want to run it continuously you need a stronger alt.  Look at a GM conversion.

Dual Batteries volition aid with a winch if you take them setup in parallel every bit your doubling your cranking amps.  Or yous tin can run a couple of vi volt industrial batteries (aka, golf car) in series to get to 12v.  This will take the initial strain off of your alternator when winching.  I can run my 9000lb winch all day long with the dual 6v setup with the stock SJ-410 alternator.

As Jeremiah said though, if you want to run it continuously you lot demand a stronger alt.  Look at a GM conversion.

I think i will run them parallel and put a bombardment close off switch on so i can cut all power when i'm not wheeling.
I will accept a 100amp altenator soon to help with all the extra electric

I run a bunch of electrical stuff on all my sami's (including a 9000lb warn) - never needed a larger alt, or 2nd battery. The only reason I'chiliad going dual alt is because I want to run an automatic, and can't bump-start if I run my primary bombardment downwards accidentally.
