Need ideas for a 2011 F-150 dual battery setup.

Hey Everyone,

I'm toying with the idea of dual battery in my 2011 F-150 XLT Super Crew. I've got the wiring all figured out, just need to figure out where to mount the second battery. The bed seems like the easiest location, but I'd really rather not do that as I often haul a lot of stuff with this truck. Ideally, I'd like to mount it under the hood. I've found one thread on another forum with this battery bracket, but no additional pictures\info\etc. I've also read up on some guys with F-250 mounting a second battery on the frame using a battery box off an E-250-350.

So, anyone out there running a 2009-present F-150 with dual batteries? Got any suggestion on how\where to mount the second battery?

I Followed the link that's too technical for me. I just bought a battery with more AH.

They make a dual battery kit for 1997-2008 FORD F-150........they might have something for newer trucks too

That's an interesting design pappawheely....I don't like how exposed they are, so I think a skidplate would be in order for that design.

D45....that looks interesting. I'll drop them a line! Thanks!

What do u need the second battery for? I run an ARKPAK as my second battery when I go camping.
