Yeah, unfortunate not an option.

Nah, the 3.6 will be fine.
It will pull in the Redarc and do both batteries even tho you are prob up around 200+ AH.
Indeed that is exactly what I have at the moment on my Red Ute... (I have removed the Intervolt programmable gear for another project)

My only comment is that assumes the batteries are in a good state of charge and condition.
If you have been giving them a hiding that day say winching and then a short drive home at night then 3.6 may be a tad low

I use it to tart up tired batteries and to maintain a couple of batteries at the same time in the boat. Both batteries are the same and are linked by an Auto Battery Coupler.

The M-300 is one of the few batteries around with a 5 yr warranty and the place I got mine from rewired the ends with anderson plugs so I can change the end connections. I can also pug anderson to anderson via the plug at the tow bar on the Patrol to charge that battery and if I leave it sit the .08 can plg into the same spot.

Winnie, check them out and you can get your batteries to last for years. Some of mine are over 10 yrs old and are working fine.

Cheers
Thanks for the advice gents
