Hi all, before I posted this I did a search for Cole Hersee but couldn't find the answer I was looking for, which basically is... what is the theory behind using these dual battery systems?

I bought a Patrol recently that has one installed. I only got to speak to the previous owner briefly before he headed overseas so I didn't get the full run down on how I should be using it - just something quick that I promptly forgot in all the excitement of buying the dream fourby :)

Should I be leaving it on "1" all the time then switching over to "Both" while travelling; or alternating every now and then between "1" and "2" to even up the usage? The last couple mornings it seems a bit hard to start... like the battery is struggling. The first couple mornings I had the car it was cool as. I also ask because it would appear to be telling me on the switch not to operate it unless the vehicle is off? I have to double check that detail...

I would have switched it over from 1 to 2 overnight, but then I might make myself late for work in the morning (and there are not enough hours in the day as it is). Same as leaving it in the car park while at work - I want it to start, and I work on the philosophy of "if you don't know, don't mess with it"

Any guidance or feedback is greatly appreciated - cheers.
