Mixing batteries

Recommended Posts

alright so i have a cheap walmart wet cell battery under the hood....

now i bought i xs power d3100 to run my amps off of in the trunk....

can i wire the 2 batteries parallel together or should i just run them seperate to the alternator ?? if i should run them seperate how should i do it ??

i wasnt sure if i could run them together since one is a wet cell while the other is a dry cell.

i wanna run my cars electrical off of the walmart battery and the amps off of the d3100.

Is this a daily driver? If it gets used often so that the batteries will stay charged, you can wire them parallel without any problems, if this vehicle is a show or competition vehicle that will not be used very often, you can either run an isolator or simply disconnect the batteries from each other via fuse to ensure that neither battery will be damaged.
