My 08 V Max CCSB could probably use a new battery. I kinda wanna put 2 Optima red tops under the bed at the right rear corner, kind of as an icy weather traction aid. I'd also like how it would clean up the engine bay a bit and theoretically maybe help braking. I'd make an aluminum box so the batteries wouldn't get beat up bi gravel. I live in Canada, and it's actually -25 outside right now, so i need some cold cranking amps. Should I do it? Or should I shitcan this pipe dream? Opinions?

 

Why 2 batteries? Also the idea isnt a bad idea, just costly to do bc you should run big wire kit imho

 

I have 2 batteries in my truck.They are in the stock diesel location. I was having trouble with the 1 battery supplieing the starter so added the 2nd and she rolls out.

All it takes is some thought and planning. If your wanting 2 batteries then do it.

 

I'm thinking 2 batteries cause a single Optima in the trunk has a bit of a hard time cranking my Olds. That IS a 10 to 1 495 stroker though... And I want it in the back if I do it. Already have most of the cable too.

 

My stock replacement has no issues starting my truck an it sits anywhere from 5 to 14 days depending how i work

 

Im also wanting to move my battery to the bed. All the way back on the passenger side to offset some of the driver weight.
