Hi All
A close friend owns a 2001 Jackeroo 3L turbo diesel (wide track) that has 2 starting batteries, which are Century NS70X and state a CCA of 520. He has a car fridge (engel 29L) and tows a new 18ft
Roma van that is wired for 12 volt and 240v via a converter. He wants to be able to have an auxiliary battery which will run 12v lights in the van and also the car fridge whilst
bush camping and also not have to rely on 240v to charge up.
Now for the questions. :
1, Does anyone know why the Jackeroo needs 2 starting batteries? And does 2 x 520cca starting batteries = 1040cca
2, Is 2 starting batteries standard on this model?
3, Will adding a 3rd battery via an isolator put undue stress on the alternator as it is already charging 2 starting batteries?
4, If a 3rd battery (Aux) is added where have people put them as there does not seem to be any room in the engine bay?
