Hi,
I have a rotronics 3ST12CFV in a prado I bought recently.
I was wandering if you can change to the Aux battery if your main one goes flat so I can start the car. As I have no idea if it is possibe or not.
At the moment I use jumper leads from one to the other to start it.
All help is appreciated
Cheers, Dan

Assuming they haven't changed their functionality no you can't
bridge the batteries for starting.
You can select to charge aux, and top up main, or charge main and aux,
or main only.
You could install a separate solenoid to
bridge the batteries or a battery
coupling switch.
Being practical, with the Rotronics installed you should never flatten the main,
if you should by accident then just jump with cable.
Cheers
Leigh
