MS Paint FTW!

make sure and used a sealed battery for the internal battery..

and it is also recommended to stick to the same brand / type of battery when using more than one.. if not, a battery isolator is recommended..

But riadb, you missing a fuse near the second battery that connects to the front. And the lil +ve part going back to the engine is the wiring harness right? I hope the guy don't interpret that going to ground off on the engine as well. Divali done we doh wah no fireworks Shocked

^^ Yeh but at some point you will reach a limit... with a stock alt it probably doesn't make sense using more than 4 or 2 AWG.

What do you mean? If you mean a gounding block then of course that has to be connected to some valid grounding point.

instead of taking the power from battery number 2 can i used battery number1....????

^^^ Because both batteries are in parallel it doesn't matter which one you tap off. Its assumed that the 2nd battery is closer to your equipment that's why the diagram shows that connection. Personally I would go for the shorter run of wire.
