Hi Chris,

I hadn't really thought of running 2 yellow tops. Seems most of the setups I studied via Google ran a red top for the main and a yellow for the aux. But it makes sense that 2 yellows would work fine as well. Being that the batteries will be isolated and the winch will only pull from the yellow top in my configuration, running a yellow for the main wouldn't matter. If both batteries would be used to power the winch, then 2 yellows would definitely have an advantage. Funny thing is that both batteries were priced the same. So I could have gone either way, had I thought of it...


Here are a few photos of the battery box (still in-progress). But you should get an idea of how I'm modding the rear storage box to hold the dual batts...

And with the bottom of the box cut away...




The beginning of the battery box - a frame made from steel angle...




The frame set in place (testing the fit) - the top view...





And from below - so you can get and idea of how much clearance the new box will have. Hey, my Sporty will have two 12V testicles! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />




That's all for now. More to come...
