Adding a Second Battery

04-13-2011, 11:31 PM	#1
Hugh G Junior Member Gulf Streamers Club Join Date: Dec 2010 Posts: 8	My camper has only one house 12 volt battery and I think there is room for a second battery. The existing battery is 7 months old. Would it cause a problem adding a second battery in the bank to this one, or do the two batterys need to be nearly exactly the same age and rating? Thanks. __________________

Be sure you wire them correctly __________________ KIX 2002 Ultimate Advantage 40J-Spartan-Cummins 2004 Jeep Rubicon 2004 Subaru Forester
