Why second battery? He probably has a high powered system. He'd be better off to get one big battery IMO though.

Buy a hamster, a running wheel, and a shit ton of copper wire. That'll solve your problem.

Find someone that rebuilds alternators and have him beef up your alternator...My buddy had to do it on his 3.0 when he got 4 12s put in it. It was cutting out, I told them (the guys at autoFX that did his stereo) it was something with the ground, they put a new expensive ass battery from the shop in it...It continued cutting out, I said check the ground. They beefed up the alternator and it kept cutting out. I said check the ground. They finally put a bigger ground wire in it and he hasnt had problems since...Then he wonders why I wont buy from him.

Why not just take it back to them and tell them you're having voltage issues?
