right, as long as you have 2 of the exact same battery's off the exact same assembly line during the same time period.

Also if you are trying to use it as a backup battery than you will want to isolate them.

Just get an isolator......simple. Eliminate the potential for a problem. Come-on.........

If you are using a second battery to run the system with the engine off, then you'd need an isolator. If you believe you need two batteries when the engine is running, then you'd need to try to match the batteries.. but I'd be curious why you'd need two with the engine running. Jim

I'm not worried about playing with the system off, i can just start the car. and since i'm buying the batteries at the same time i hope they are exactly the same

Why do you think you need multiple batteries? What are you hoping to accomplish? Jim

Well the only time that you would be running your system off of the batteries is when the vehicle is off. A second battery won't do anything for you. You will need a higher output alternator if you run into too much current draw from your stereo. Just as a side note a capacitor won't do much if anything either.

i figured that since after it discharges it'll take a while b4 it recharges therefore increasing the resistance to the amps, right?
