I have a Rotronics dual battery set up with a deep cycle in the back for the fridge ect. I have just instaled a winch and want dual battries for it as well. Can I just put another battery in the engine bay and hook it up to the main stating battrey which powers the winch, with out instaling a isolator ?
If I have two bateries 720 cca battries hooked in this manner, would that mean I have 1440 cca on tap to use ?
I would like to keep the deep cycle in the rear for the fridge ect. ???

Yes you can, but remember your alternator will have to run hard to power all of these.
Might be an idea to consider an upgrade to the alternator.
