2 Batteries

--- Quote from: "Bob Ajob" ---IIRC Good if they are the same condition, same type, have got the same charge.
Bad if not.
You wouldn't want to do them in series, or this would be 24v...
Not quite sure how you wire them up though, not done that mod. Also not sure on how big an alternator you need to fill them both up at the same time.

Series diesels, or at least the earlier Series 2/2A genuine diesels had two batteries and were 12v...

could this be 2 6volt batteries, asi remeber when i started in the garage some commercial vehicals had 2 6volts in series to make a very heavy duty 12volt
Rich_P:
I don't think they were 6v, as some people still use them with a pair of batteries.

when i started there were 6volt batteries in bedfords and stuff
still got a 2volt tester as you could test each of the three cells
now using the tester on 48 volt fork lift trucks each battery is 2 volt
need someone old and technicaly minded to confirm this (btm :lol: )
ross501:
if you connect them in series you get 24v if you have them in parrell they will stay at 12 v like when you use jump leads you only get 12 v
