Got it! One question! With the parallel set up for the two batteries. Can I hook up the (-) cablefrom the second battery to the body or do i have to run the (-) cable back over to the primary battery?

Electrically they are the same, so this would be at your discretion.

Thats what I was thinking but for some reason I also thought that it said specifically that it didn't work with the dIIs. I don't have the catalog in front of me though. Is there enough room?

Send me your e-mail address and I will send you pictures of an easy to do dual set up for D2's.
