Default Re: One or two batteries for Stock Elim.

Check....

Im sure the other would start the car even after 5 or 10 passes, since its only going to be running fans, water pump and some electronics....IF I need it.

Good to know on the deep cycles, I bought it for that reason, not the cranking amps, but if I end up with issues Ill know where to look.

Thanks for the note.

But very good to know....I was going to get one of those 400 cell lithium jobs till I saw the price ....Ive got some other ideas on that front later, heck a battery is easy enough to swap out....and cheap....Im always about 6 batteries short around here anyway the one thats in there was priamarily for testing (hence the deep cycle, wiring, load testing etc)....well see how it does from Dyno-Track.

A change may be in order though.

Thanks again

Cheers

Chris

I personally won't use "deep cycle" marine type batteries anymore because they do not like to provide FULL cranking power on a start up...they are designed to allow as much power as possible while going to a full discharge of voltage.....I burned up 2 optima yellow tops before I found this out and now will avoid the deep cycle batteries for that reason....
