Dual Battery Systems Information
Dual Battery Systems
A dual battery system makes a handy addition to any 4x4 where a winch, fridge/freezer, or auxiliary lights are installed, or you wish to charge up all your electronic gear whilst on the road.
The dual battery system allows for a second battery to be hooked up to the main, preserving it for starting duties.
Benefits of a Dual Battery System
Running extra lights, camping fridges, inverters, winches, in-car entertainment systems and other electronic gear consumes a lot of power that is required to keep your engine running and battery charged. Using a dual battery system you can utilise the power of a second battery for powering all of your auxiliary items leaving your main battery for powering your 4wd. Running your 4wd & auxiliary items without adequate power can run the risk of damaging the electronics of your 4wd and electronic gear.
A dual battery system correctly installed will allow the main battery to keep its charge. If it goes flat for any reason there is generally a manual overide of the direction of charge with the secondary battery so that it can be used to 'jump start' the first one, getting you back on your way without the hassles of jump starting your 4wd with another vehicle.
Dual battery systems generally come with a priority charging system, meaning that your main battery will always be charged in priority to the auxiliary battery, ensuring there is enough charge to start your 4wd. Running fridges/freezers that continually use power from an auxiliary utilising low power automatic cut off will also give you the same benefits leaving your main battery charged.
