I have a ex rac van which has the factory fitted leisure battery. It’s an agm battery which was identical to the starter battery until I replaced it with a bigger one as it was failing to start intermittently. Obviously the old starter battery didn’t have enough power to start the van but would it be any use wiring under the bench seat to upgrade to capacity on the leisure side without too much cost? Planning on upgrading to a dc-dc charger soon. The van is a work van and will be used occasionally with the family. I’m buying a van king so may get away for the odd night or just for day use.
Second leisure battery
- Thread starter Pwood811
- Start date
Thanks for the feedback. I’m guessing that there isn’t a way to check the condition of the two batteries and whether they are similar or not. Only that they are the same capacity. Therefore as above, not a good idea? Is it a case that both batteries will only work to the capacity/condition of the worst battery?
I would expect them to provide no better service than the worst of the pair with the poorest dragging down the better one.
