02 SAN 210 TE- Need to add another battery?

[saceone]

Hey guys, first post here.
I bought a SAN and there's only one battery. My sound system is the usual 1 amp/ 1 sub setup (factory?) nothing fancy...no tower speakers yet. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add another battery and if so , how would you guys do it? I've searched for a while (on PN.com) but most of the threads were not useful to me.


Thanks in advance



ps. Loving the nautique. first boat, not my last.

I used the Hellroaring BIC75150 in my '03 210, and it was great. it combines the batteries for charging when the boat is running, then isolates the starting battery when the engine is off. It worked very well.

thank you for the quick reply, much appreciated.
I'm guessing most guys are using blue tops?
how much am I looking at for an efficient setup (battery,hellroaring module, wires etc) ?
is this a simple DIY project?

thanks alot

I would just go with a marine deep cell. I installed a perko switch instead. You have to manually select 1,2 or both batteries.

Estimate

Battery 75
Switch 50
0 guage wire (ebay) 75
Battery connectors (ebay) 50

Total $250
