Do I have to go dual batteries in my GV?

Post by grazza »

Based on the other discussion about using a single battery I thought I would ask here for your thoughts...

I would like to be able to run for Waeco CF40 for a couple of nights but I have some issues with running dual batteries.

At the moment I dont have enough room for 2 in the engine bay, I have an air compressor on the left and a cruise control module on the right, infront of the factory battery.

So can I get a single, high Ah battery to do the job?

Less cost, weight and no need for a dual battery controller/solenoid.

But...if a bigger single battery will work, should I look for a bigger alternator too?

For emergencies I was thinking of taking a small "thumper" battery thingo to start the car.

Hi Grazza

i have the same fridge :D , i also got the weaco battery pack and i found it lasts just on 48hs with the temp on 5. i have purchased a seconed one for longer stays but it means you can run the fridge away from the car and while im driving it just sits in the back plugged in.
