How about on the opposite side of your factory battery. If you have a pickup just weld a optima battery box under your bed, Optima batteries can be mounted in any position, even upside down because they are a gel cell.
Are you going to run a solenoid like rv type so it disconnects when the key is off, so incase your main battery dies you can flip a switch and it will send power to your main unit?

I'm running duel battery's. But I'm also runnin diesel. The mounting of it is very simple just weld angle iron to make a base. As for wiring duel battery's on a gasser I'm lost sorry if this didn't help any. . . :_oops:
If you mess it up, or break it more than a few times THATS LERNIN!!!
