    Are you guys planning to replace your battery or run it as a secondary?

    What kind of stuff would be run that would require said upgrade? I don't believe I'm in need of one, but I'm interested in the idea for potential future needs

    a winch would be the main reason..

    a winch can drain a battery, and id rather have it drain a backup battery than the primary one.

    Had a red top in my Xterra. The alternator died on a trail. Battery alone got me ~30 miles... on "fumes". No doubt in my mind a lesser battery would have had me stranded.

    Interested, especially after seeing a few of you guys wanting to run dual batteries and following your schematics and plans.
    been thread stalking....

    Funny how our paths cross.

    I'm about to do this project in the next few weeks or months. Here's the schematic I put together if that helps you. I'm still gathering the supplies.

    I've downloaded each of your schematics every time you updated them [stalkerish]and I've combined them with a few others I've seen, we seem to have the same needs....
    I was talking with Bamatoy too, he seems to not like the Bluesea gear, but it's in the right pricepoint and is known to get the job done.

    I guess if I'm being stalked for info, I'm somewhat on the right track. I like the Bluesea gear as well. I didn't really pick it for the price point, just after researching it, they just seemed to have their act together. I like the simplicity of their designs

    **UPDATE!**

    The vendors are taking forever to get back with me on this. So I decided to take a step further.

    I contacted Optima directly, I've had responses, we will see where this goes.

    I contacted Northstar directly, they are definetly interested, we will see where this goes.

    I know some of you guys have brand preferences, if BOTH companies provide discounts for a group buy, I will let you guys choose which brand name to go with.
