dual batteries
#32
I have 2 batteries for the 454 in my RV (engine and onboard air compressor) and 2 batteries for the "house wiring." Alternator capacity has to be enough to charge both, lor electrical load will OL alt and batteries will draw down.
Check ampacity of the alt on the diesel.

heres what i have to say about the dual batteries and why i went this route.
my stock battery 770 cca's does what it needs to do for everyday use, but im getting 2 850cca batteries which equals out to 1700 cca's and 2000 ca's that will be more than enough power for my plow. im pretty sure that i have the 136a alternator so a larger alt is not needed. when using a plow it is raised and angled at idle so everything dims a ton.
with going dual batteries the plow will work much faster than it currently does and i will be able to get more life out of the pump motor.
