Why do you need two batteries?
WELL I TRIED TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE WITH A BRAND NEW OPTIMA AND IT BARELY
TURNED IT OVER
ADDED ANOTHER BAT AND I HAD REVOLUTIONS
THIS IS A VERY TIGHT ENGINE AND IM SURE ONCE ITS BROKE IN
ONE WILL BE FINE
THE COMPRESSION IS 11:1 AND TIGHTER THAN A DRUM
TURNING IT OVER BY HAND IS A CHORE.
SO HERE THEY ARE RUFFED IN
CLEAN UP AND ALIGN TOMORROW

set some foam around the jack mount to keep to quiet protect the jack paint
almost done with the batteries. and the ignition switch
it connects the second battery at start cranking only - ill add some foam to the bottom of the yellow battery tray to
keep the terminal away from the frame , althought its all covered with elephant skin and foam
i have a small quarter size dent in the trunk so will try to even it out and then
replace all the deck lid trim.
also wanted to see what the wood trim would look like on the ac face panel
not to bad lookin- just had some time to tinker.
heres the answer to the detail question in general comments. i painted the inside of the
lug nut opening in the handle and painted the lettering

always "danger" when using 2 batteries in parallel.... as in my oem BMW 850i . When 1 batterie go's "bad" it pulls the other also down. Had it with my first set new ! ones… now the second set seems to hold. So more if 2 different batteries… i'm afraid.
Common change mod is converting to 1 batterie.... but the places don't allow 1 big batterie for some serious amp's.

NO NO NO THE SECOND BATTERY ONLY WORKS DURING CRANKING
THATS WHAT THE SWITCH IS FOR
WHEN I HIT THE CRANK POSITION- IT GOES THRU THAT WIRE -FIRES THE RELAY WHICH
ADDS POWER FROM THE SECOND BATTERY TO CRANK THE ENGINE
THEN ITS ALWAYS OFF
ALL DONE IN TRUNK
JUST NEED TO MOUNT THE TRIM

my rear trunk trim was a bit wavy due to water that got in while sitting for the 10yrs so i saved a pressboard spare tire cover from our 96 olds
and cut a new piece and elephant covered it it
looks new now. finished the tool box
came out fairly well. used transtar primer that was a good enuff color or now and used mcquires 40 to shine it up

more boring stuff finished the trunk for good
couldnt figure out why my lights keep going on and off
so checked the connector and there it was.
over time the little u shape contacts loused up
so i crimped em back tight
laid some bubble wrap under the tire
all fixed.

there are dividers to charge 2 batteries , more often used in boats.
Are you sure it will stay dry under the spare wheel ? otherwise i would not use the bubble wrap.... water will be trapped and do its work... rust.
just for storage
