Re: Two batteries in gas cart
What're you running that requires an additional battery? I have a light bar and an amp for two speakers that together probably require under 10 amps. Doesn't the generator put out around 20??

Re: Two batteries in gas cart
I gotcha, four speakers and sub will obviously drain some more. I'd do a deep cycle that you can hook to a charger or trickle charger after you use the cart when sitting overnight. A good deep cycle battery should run that stuff for a while - several hours. I don't think the generators are up to charging two batteries. Hook your lights up to the main battery and they shouldn't pull more than the cart will recharge. Add a switch between the amp and deep cycle so you can turn it off/on when wanted. But heck, you might be fine running all that to your current battery unless you plan on sitting still and running it for long periods of time. You need to figure the total amp usage of all your accessories and the find out exactly what the generator puts out.

Re: Two batteries in gas cart
I have heard of folks using an automatic battery isolator and putting the spare battery in the bag well area. Not sure if that will work for your setup. Something like this:
