Morning all,
Picked up my new work ute yesterday (2010 VDJ79) and had noticed that an 'Emergency Start' button is located just behind wiper stick. I think positioned where the Diff Locker switch would be. I had spoken to my boss about other Dual Battery Systems (Piranha and others) but was told it only to be was fitted with this 'Emergency Start' button.
I thought that these 'push starts' weren't good for EFI vehicles. I had heard that spiking was an issue. Say if it did spike the ECU I would be up creek without a paddle, in some of the
places I work. And just look at all the electrics in the engine bay!!! I had a few years ago used this system on a HZJ79 and it was fine.
On my personal ute (HDJ79) I fitted a Piranha Dual system (DBE180S+) and it works a treat!! It mentions anti spiking and it just 'talks' with each battery. But I have installed better batteries in my system. No button it just plods along effortlessly.

But again I could be totally wrong as my auto sparky knowledge is woeful.
Thanks Matthew
