To hook up a second battery to your Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel Item # 34282181 you'll need the following:

Some 10 AWG wire to run a positive and negative line from the second battery positive and negative ports on the back of the 30 amp solar controller # 34276119 to the battery.

You'll need a wire stripper/crimper and some ring terminals to hook up to the battery which you can find in the Ratcheting Crimper Set for 10 Gauge to 22 Gauge Wire - 151 Pieces Item # PT89VR.

You'll also need a 30 amp fuse harness to install on the positive line of the battery. You can find this at your local auto parts store.

You can also run the batteries in parallel like shown in the attached picture and you won't need to add another fuse in since both batteries will run off of the fuse that came in your # 34282181 kit.
