You want to fuse (or use a circuit breaker) within 18" of each battery. If the wire shorts in the middle, you have to have protection (a fuse) near both batteries.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can count and those who can't

You should fuse every input/output going into the positive terminal of any battery within 18 inches. Including if you add a second one in the trunk.
