I don't think you will have a problem with current drop if you are using right gear and cables. A lot of people run the second battery from the back, it's quite common. Although, I am pretty sure, being a 4 cylinder there should be room in your engine bay shouldn't there? |

1) What will the second battery be used for? 2) Where will the load (see 1 above) be mounted? No - I don't need the answer to the questions - but if you can answer them, it will help you decide if rear mounting is a viable option, or even the optimal location. Just as an example - a second battery used to power "engine off" campsite loads, perhaps a fridge , might be best located at the back closer to the fridge - on the other hand, one intended for winching would need to be near to the winch, which is usually in front. |

U should be able to get 2 up the front If it's only fridge and lights then 16mm2 to the back will be fine. If it's for the winch u will want 35 - 70 mm2. |

I have a 75amp hour deep cycle battery mounted under the bonnet as well as the dismally small starter battery. No dramas there. Using a piranha dual battery isolater |
