Title: Adding Coach batteries to 4 coach set up
Post by: Jim Edwards on September 01, 2016, 05:26:49 AM

For power consumption reasons can anyone tell me if you CAN ADD additional 2 house batteries to a 4 battery setup? If so what concerns might there be?

Thanks

From what I understand, you will need to make sure the additional batteries are of the same amp/hrs as the ones you have.

We moved our starter batteries above the muffler making room for 2 additional 6v batteries in the tray. If you are going to be at the International BAC rally this month in Oregon I can show you.

I understand that mixing wet cell batteries with AGM s are not a good idea at all!

True do not mix wet with AGM. I have wet cell and don't mind checking the water level.

two years ago we added 2 batteries all AGM works much better with no lag at the start on the C13 we did get all 6 to fit the batt tray.
