But if you want to DOUBLE your COLD CRANKING AMPS... Hook the 2 batteries up the same way as described above BUT go to the starter (+) off of one battery and ground (-) off of the other battery.
Hahah WHAT?! U need to open some books. 2 batterys parralled stays 12v and combines both batterys cca. The way u describe leaves insuffent grounds. BOTH BATTERYS NEED A CRAP LOAD OF GROUNDS AND EITHER A COMMON BUT EQUIL + JUNCTION POINT or EQUAL POSITIVE BRANCHES OFF POSTS. To say neg off one and pos to starter is a frog leap away from a in series system. Your 2000 posts are impressive, but if they contain incorrect instructons whats the point?
