[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 244354, member: 7025"] I think that if you start throwing different batteries together, you are going to run into charging issues because of different battery type, age, capacity, and condition. I would roll with the single battery until I could afford a second one. If your truck has a 7 pin connector, it woulf be easy enough to wire yiur battery to charge while the truck is running. They do it all the time on travel trailers. You may have to remember to unplug it when you stop for long periods to keep the boat battery from discharging back through the plug. I've always been a subscriber to the idea that simple is better. if your boat motor, assuming you have one, has an alternator output, you can use an automatic chargin relay to help charge your TM battery while you are running. That's another story for another thread. [/QUOTE]
