Re: Dual Battery Setup w/ Mean Green Altenator
I have a dual optima setup on my CJ. I use the 1 most of the time but at night when i use the light bar and the winch i switch the aux battery on..I monitor the aux batt. with a gauge and when it's below 11.2 volts i switch on the toggle when the engine is running so that it gets charged back up and ready for use when needed.. My alternator was custom built with an output of 170 amps and is more than sufficient for all the electrical demands. All my exterior lamps exept the driving and spot lamps are converted to L.E.D.s..I can leave the parking lamps on for 5 to 6 hrs without killing the battery..
