I will be installing a twin kit soon. I'm curious as to who is using just one battery. Is it worth it to only use one or should I just go ahead and relocate the second one on the frame?
One battery. Pros and cons
- Thread starter plowboy_lbz
- Start date
I kno my buddy has been running his with one for a wile now not sure how long (years) but he's never had any problems but I would be interested what others have to say also.
One battery here. Works great however I will probably throw on one or two more under the bed before wintertime hits.
In Kansas winters can get pretty cold. Some days its below zero but most of the time its 20 - 30 deg for an average. Also was thinking about mounting both of them in the bed.
Keyword there, winter...curious to see how many people running a single are doing in cold weather/snow conditions. Where I live it can and does get into the teens and single digit often so that's the only thing stopping me.
I live in Michigan and it gets pretty cold here. I mounted the 2nd battery on the frame rail. Battery cables fit without extending.
had multiple days in 0* weather and she still cranked right up. Flagstaff here is 6800ft in the air and sees some pretty damn cold winters
at that time, i had a duralast gold series 800cca battery in it with dual posts. Well it died back in May and they dont make them in dual posts anymore. since i run accessorys off the top posts, i had to upgrade to a platinum series battery for 50 bucks more but its lifetime warrantied and dry cell. concidering the yellow duralast was a just a cheapy, i was thoroughly surprised it lasted as long as it did
I just picked up the duralast gold series yesterday because it was thenonly one sears had, is that just as good as the platinum? Its a 770 cca. Im running it as a single.
strange. ive got the receipt that even says it on it.
just checked their site, it even says the same. ill be sure to hang on to this receipt then.
i dunno cause online they claim 3 year warranty too. maybe the guy f-up my receipt?
