Auxiliary Battery

[LakeSpeed]

What are your thoughts on this? Is it worth having one? Thinking about adding one.

Honestly there's no need for one unless you run a lot of accessories like lights and a winch. But, usually you can get away with having a single Optima yellowtop battery.

What do you have that uses extra power?

What do you have that uses extra power?

Plow, auxiliary lights and inverter

[Amiodynski]

I have one and also have the dual alternators on my truck. Glad I ordered the truck this way since I added all the lights and who knows what else the future holds.

Aren't they standard on the diesels?

I use my aux. battery to run my amp,off-road lights,winch & Oogah horn.Also have a 140amp alternator to keep both batteries charged.

Well i wanted the extra battery because i run the plow and maybe an electric sander next year plus my 16 light light bar plus back up lights and some other warning lights. dealer says 1 is fine always had 2 because of the diesel now i have a gas but alt. is bigger with the plow prep.

you think there be a kit you can get or at least a diagram and parts list for how it would be factory installed.

Just put aux on today as I hook ham radios and winch up to it. Hooked them up together.

 

Thank you
