Hi All. Does anyone use two 12v batteries in parallel in a c/t or van? If so do you
have any problems with them. Will be charging them by solar.
Cheers Brian

Should be ok.
We have 3 x 115ah Deep Cycle batteries in our c/van, charged by either solar (via 3x 64 w pannels and a Plasmatronics PL20 Charge Regulator) or towing vehicle (via an Arrid Twin Charge) or a 3 stage battery chager when mains avail.
This ran a 2 x 12 v fridges, tv, inverter,lights etc for our 2yr trip around Oz.
