Dual Batteries for dummies
Posted: Mon, 07 Feb 2011 3:25 +0000
I have searched and there are a few posts regarding this topic but we need something like"dual batteries for dummies"
All the other posts go of in electrical engineering jargon and thats it for me..call me to dumb...to tired...to drunk....all of the above ..but it is doing my head in
I want to install a second battery and all i know( i think) is that the second battery should be a deep cycle...agm perhaps?
Now..here is the good bit...
Do i use an isolator like the redarc......
Or can the ctek unit do the same thing as well as charge to 100%... i learned that alernator only charges to 70/80%
Pros and cons for either system would be good.....another contender is the Piranha sytem
ARB wanted 1100 bux to install redarc and run a few outlets in my tray......seems a little over the top.....any help would be appreciated..cheers
