in parellel... pos to pos, neg to neg.
make sure your using inline fuses on both ends if your going to be running one batt underhood and another in the trunk..

I'm pretty sure there's some more information in here:

depends on the strength/ output of your alt. If your alt is putting out 300a and you have a 150a fuse... nawsayin?

A GENERAL RULE IS THAT YOU FUSE THE RATING OF THE POWER WIRE. COMMON SENSE FROM THERE. I MEAN 300 AMPS ON 8 GUAGE WIRE IS OVERKILL. BUT ARE YOU SPEAKING ABOUT RUNNING 1 BATTERY UP FRONT, THEN RUNNING ANOTHER IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. or TWO BATTERY'S SIDE BY SIDE. I ALSO LIKE THE 200 AMP RELAYS BETWEEN BATTERIES. JUST ME, HOPE THAT HELPED
