I have been thinking about a dual battery set up for my rig now that I'm putting a winch on it, but space under the hood is at premium. So I was on the web today and found some OPTIMA red top 6 volt starting batteries that measured approx. 4"W x 10"L x 8"H and I got to thinking. Has anyone else thought of wiring two of these 6 volt batteries in series essentially making them one 12 volt battery to conserve space. Then running them through an battery isolator along with my other OPTIMA red top so that there isn't any uncontrolled current flow and they all get the charge that they need from the alternator without pulling from the other battery draining both of them. I think could find room for these easier than one fullsize battery. Any input or suggestions, and of course if somebody else has done it already pictures would be fantastic.
