Matson Dual Battery set up

G'day all, is anybody using the above dual battery system? I'm looking to set up a second battery in the rear of my ute. Just looking for the goods and bads.

 IM sure it will be fine, only downside i can see is running large cable to the rear of the vehicle could result in some volt drop. If you want something a bit better i would suggest a dcdc charger which being a bit more expensive would be a bit better.

 G'day Joel, voltage drop shouldn't much of an issue, going to use 12mm for that and it will only be about a 3.5 meter run, so voltage drop would be minimal if at all. The system is only going to be power for my radio in the car.

 Maybe, I was going to purchase from Super Cheap but others would sell it I'd imagine.
