story: i work in my car all night as a security guard and i play my laptop and listen to music, but i am forever forced to run my car to keep the battery charged and there has been times it has died and i have needed to jump start it.
i want to add another battery (or 2) first: i know there are different types of batteries that dont have high cranking amps but can cope with being continuously depleted and recharged should i go for these and what are they called ?
and should i wire 3 up in parallel off the first battery (if its possible) or put in a switch that swaps to the backup batteries.
if i put in the switch how does it work and does it charge all batteries at the same time or only those selected ?
things i like to have in my car
power inverter that charges my laptop and also powers a heater when its freezing and my music etc, but if this turns out well i may even put in a tv and gaming console.
car is a 97 excel.
if you say "i should be working and not playing etc" i sit in front of gates for 12 hours a night its not exactly something i need to be constantly alert about.
thanks!
