Thread: D110 - Dual Battery install

the batterys will walk backwards mark, they may take out the sc40 if you dont secure them

questions?? yep! what colour lecky tape should you use for the neg cable

cheers phil

I used red tape - as it make the electricity go fast through the wires to the fridge

The original battery is secured using the LR bracket and I am going to put a piece of wood behind the aux battery to lock it up (there is no sideways movement)

while we are talking brackets, anyone know of someone making battery trays to hold 2 Optima batteries in the East / West style?

Hi LRHybrid100,
I suspect that, if you don't tie that second battery down, it will shake itself to death.

Just watch going over a bump that it doesn't jump up and arc out on the battery cover/lid...or do the covers have insulation on the underneath side

I have a thick rubber mat over the top of both batteries also.

See my reply in the other thread. Can't remember if the Optimas have mounting holes through them like the Exides do, but the Scorpion Racing tray does a very neat job if they do.


Shows tray with single battery in and clamps for second battery

Both batteries installed

Here's a few pics from my County dual battery install:
