Second similar 12v battery in parallel is fine for what you are talking about. Get some premade cables at walmart or the local autoparts store is fine.
For pro cables you can have them custom made here at a good price: http://www.genuinedealz.com/custom-cables?size=56
$600 for solar seems like a lot. Portable you don't need a fancy kit. Panel (or 2), controller and some wire to connect.
160w panel $179
Morningstar controller $50

Either way...he needs to buy 2 batteries.
Might as well be 6V.
