Which Battery

<< < (2/3) > >>

Cheggs:
Surely you can, take a feed off the caravan feed if you have both sockets on your towbar, just to charge the second battery. Thanks for pointer on the batteries i shall have look on the X-eng site. my new alternator should be here to day.

boss:
cheggs, look at the site but if your still unsure call simon at x-eng, actually the most helpfull bloke on the planet! ;)

Cheggs:
Ahh the caravan one would work but no good if I fit a winch, I take it if I use a split chare system I don't need a matched pair of batteries?

Gav_T:
I have a leisure and marine battery on my disco (or at least i did!) and that ran my winch fine as owt. I could leave it parked up for ages and would always fire up first time. Once i left the lights on and flattened it and it was good as new again after a hour on the battery charger :)

I have a leisure battery in the primary slot and a battery from a scapped tranny van in trap 2. A length of fat (Battery size) cable between both +ve's and an earth strap to the chassis beneath.

No split charging, no battery matching or anything else fancy. I run an inverter, multiple 12v internal bits and bobs, a winch and 4 roof lights and 2 work lights. Plenty of power for everything, I regularly off road at night so all these things run at once. I've shared out the loads between batteries, mainly due to space on the terminals and which side of the truck is more convenient.
