Just another observation here.....

- the original poster has only space for a battery
- material cost for a second deep cycle battery, wires, terms, batt management system
- some labor time

OR

Get one of these and be done with it.....

Sure this thing is heavy but not much more than two full size batteries...
Sure this thing is expensive but add up the cost of what I mentioned earlier
You STILL get better performance than any two Yellow Tops
Sure this thing is big but you can make it fit
