i'm just wondering if instead of wiring neons up to the car battery. could i wire them up to a seperate battery? i.e. a smallish battery you get from most shops, not a specific car battery. it would make my wiring much easier if this could be done? is it possible? thanks

it would go flat as it wouldnt be getting charged. u would have to take the battery out of the car to charge it up.

best keep withyour car batt.. as it has the constant charge from the alternator.. also the right amps too.. some 12v bats.. like bike batts run down dead quick anyway.

The wiring is dead easy just take the glove box out and go through behind there.

u can use the feed from the alternator to charge up your other battery so it wont got flat, just remember to put a diode between the two batteries.

Doesnt matter to much about how its atached so long as its scure and conected.

Just under the terminal conectors put the wires imbetween and tighten it up job done
