Ive seen this same setup before on a website except there was only one accessory battery. Can i just run a second one parrallel to the first accessory one. Basically so i can run my stereo longer. Also how about adding a third to the accessory set up?

Just my thoughs, but it is always possible to run two batteries in parallel, which is what it looks like that is the only modification you are talking about. Essentially, the two paralled batteries is equivialant to one larger battery. Of course, greater capacity calls for greater charging demand, etc.

That should work fine, the only problem could be if one of those batteries were to develop a problem such as a bad cell, it will pull the other battery down to it's level. Also when doing something like that those 2 batteries should be the same type, size, age, etc.

Ok cool thanks. So i could do three on the accessory side if I wanted to? Or even four? Or would four be pushing it?

I think 2 would be sufficient, 3 or 4 is really pushing the charging system plus don't don't forget the space and weight of the batteries 4 grp 27's is gonna be around 240 lbs!
