Hi All,
In NZ I picked up a nice Y61 lwb Safari 4.2TD. It has a factory twin battery setup. I am uncertain how the battery setup works - any ideas welcome. Wiring diagrams would be nice if anyone has anything to suit. I do know the alternator is 12V so I expect the system is 12V but not sure if one battery is a backup or if they are merely wired in parallel to double the amperage. Maybe they are independent with some sort of charge controller & some automatic or secret switch???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shane
