I was going to put a second battery in jet ski. Shouldnt be any different to boat only the room.
Can i put a second battery approx 1.5 metre from main battery and hook up to an isolator switch.
The second battery was going to be put in front hatch.
I was just wondering whether it would be ok with the length of the wires. Is there any problem with this.
They are only 20AH size batteries.
Cheers
Greg

Length of wires on a jet ski won't be an issue , and with fairly low draw wire size won't be an issue either ..don't go the cheap on the isolator , there are a few dodgy ones that don't like moisture much ...

Thanks mutineer.
Yeah i thought it would be ok. Just bit of mucking around, but in the hatch would be better.
I had to tow another jet ski home few weeks ago who had a flat battery. Cant pull start them like an outboard.
