what size does the 2nd battery need to be? i already have a calcium corsa diesel battery up front, but will be running a dvd system with 2 amps, sub and components. just wanted to leave the ignition on whilst watchin a film or with the system on without having to worry about starting the car! | |

It will charge the second battery all the time, your alternator determines the load. | |

with only these wires, how does it know when to charge the second battery? Or does it just 'know' and works, and i dont need to question it :| | |

i wouldn't a thought so, i reckon u could prob get away with 2 or maybe 4awg instead. | |

You don't really need to run 0awg wire from the main battery to the secondary battery though do you? | |

No, the charge relay will only have the +0awg wires. | |

the CAD package just uses ring terminals to bolt it to the relay, so if you were doing it yourself then thats what i would recommend. | |

Plan on split charging yelow top from boot, and slinging a corsa diesel battery in the front. quote: hmph. i want it to work automatically so once its in, it just 'works'. doesnt need any more help from me. If any one has any idea about anything on this topic, (wiring diagram, etc) it's much appreciated :thumbs: Martin |
