I'm thinking to do it too. Had to jumpstart it twice last week. If i don't drive it for two days, i need to do this. I have a dashcam and a tracking device wich are drawing the battery. I have a device that should shut off the camera when battery voltage drops too much but it cuts the power too late.

you need a battery isolator if you are going to link batteries. that way one can be completely drained while keeping your starting battery full.

I've been looking for it. But where is a good place to place the second battery? Not much space left in the bed. And what type off battery should i use?

an aux battery should always be a deep cycle. this allows for charging and discharging multiple times without battery damage. you can put one under the rear seat
