Dual battery mod!
« on: December 10, 2009, 11:58:10 AM »
Has anyone done the dual battery mod?  Just curious, I was thinking about doing this sometime in the future and wondered if anyone had any pics or words of advice?  Not sure why I need this mod but thought it would be cool to have an extra battery.

OK, cool! I'll do some more searching.

Yes, maybe some day.   :thumbup:

OK, here is what I found.  I would guess these fit 02-06 but I'm not sure, still putting everything together but see below.  These are P/N's from the dealer.

Passenger side battery tray, GM #15246518 (Old #15705102)
Screw, GM #11509853

What kind of wiring are you planning on using? Painless has a pretty easy setup. I'll hunt down a link after dinner.

I'm looking at the Stinger 1/0 gauge wire.  I looked at the Painless kit at Summit, when I'm ready I'll probably get it from them.  I think they wanted $129 for the kit.  I could get the waterproof kit for $199 but I'm not sure I need/want that one?

No, not at all but you still need all the cable and the Painless kit.  You will need to remove the inner fender bracket prior to installing the second battery tray.
