They sell battery isolators that you an use. You could also just hook them up in parallel.

Re: second battery? how to hook it up?
thanks for the link, i found that last night.

what i dont know is what kind of isolators to get and i dont have an amp so do i still need 3 isolators?

also im worried if i need to pay to have my alternator to be beefed up mine is rated for 105amp for my 1986 5.0 tpi v8 engine to handle the new load of a new battery
