I have searched and didn't find the info I need.
Here is my dilema:I want a second battery for a stand by incase my primary gives out on the trail.I also would like to use the second battery in unison of the primary during heavy winching.
Underhood space is limited as we all know and my situation is even worse because the dual batt system has to retain the original airbox(unlike the diesel battery tray that most people use on a dual batt system.)
Now I was thinking of using two 6v atv batteries hooked up in series(or is it paralelle?)to get 12v because they are small and I hope I can find space for them under the hood.
Instead of getting into expensive solenoids or smart controls I am hoping to be able to self jump start the primary battery from the two 6v batteries via jumper cables.
I was looking at this but its not exactly cheap(I'm poor):

and also this:I could fab something like that myself to accommidate two 6v atv batts.

They have a small 12v battery that they sell for their "double stack" dual battery setup but Its like $180.
Am I way off base with this idea?
