I was wondering if anyone has added a second battery and if so, where? I have an isolator and want to add a secondary power system with an inverter so I can have some power without worrying about draining my starting battery in the woods. I sleep in it so I can't have a traditional battery in the cab. I was thinking mounted underneath but not sure what the best options would be.

What other types of batteries could I use? Not sure if the isolator can handle different types of batteries.

There are three threads on the topic of adding a second battery, and quite a bit of useful information among the three:
