adding second battery

[[email protected]]

I am trying to add a second battery to my van. I am not mechanically
inclined. Someone gave me a solenoid (white rogers rbm type
124-1052111) to use. can anyone draw me a diagram?

Thanks Tracy

Why do you want a second battery installed? Not that's it's not a good idea,
but it makes a difference on how it's wired in.

We just had a discussion about double batteries. You seem to be wanting
additional cranking power. The batteries and the solenoids would be in
parallel and the wire has to be big enough. The charging circuit would vary according how
you would want to do it. Actually on our boat, we only have one solenoid with two batteries.
