    I'm sure this is a very beginner-level question, but could anyone explain to me how the 2 batteries work in regard to starting the car? Do both have to be fully functional or is one more of a back-up? I have a dual battery setup in the Safari I recently bought, but not a clear idea of how it works. Thanks!

    Not sure about some peoples but most use the second battery to run everything else & the main battery just for starting & some winching as well as the starting battery is first inline from the alternator so will charge up again first after big current draw.
    Second battery is for spotties fridges air compressors & other camping accesories you may need or want.

    As yours is safari some of these are 24v so in this case both are used for starting etc you may want to check if your not 100% sure how yours works.
