What battery does everyone here use for their second one?? Im doing this at the moment, and it will eventually have all the bits and pieces running off it (winch, fridge, lights, radio, etc).

I now run 2 Exide Extreme batteries they have a CCA of 630 each. I have them both connected together with just a bit of 70mm cable, no solinods at all. I Only have lights and a winch, no fidge or anything like that. I find this to suit my needs perfectly.

I am however going to put in a 3rd one when I do finally get a fridge and will have them wired so that the winch and all aux things run off 2 of them that will be hooked up like they are now and then will have the 3rd one just for starting purposes only, it will be done with a simpal solinod in the line.

i'm running two "overland 700" batteries connected with a simple solenoid.
