Dual batteries - saves princess

fish2live · 06-23-08, 03:04 PM

The

is using the rig today (long story) and I was doing some final wiring on the ARB Rear bumper last night. I must have left the lights on or something... anyway,

calls me this morning at work with...
"your battery is dead and I'm late for an appointment."
"OK, fine, see that switch next to the miror control - flip it up - did the light come on?"
"yes"
"Good, wait 5 seconds.... now crank it."
"wow, that is great honey - love you... bye"
Started right up, that easy even

nailed it. That alone was worth the price of Hellroaring and dual batteries.

Now time to figure out why your battery died.

question is, did it get him laid? If I put one in will the chicks flock to me for having dual batteries?

That will probably happen. Chicks dig dual batteries more than body damage.

"No honey, I wasn't using the winch..."

You'll need a lot more than dual batteries...

What model batteries do you have? How did you install them? How long did it take? Do you have pictures?

Dual optima's (blue main, red backup) - Hellroaring Kit with remote switch in cab (

loved it!), $400 in battery, tray, HR and cables, about 6-8 hours to install - I did it slow and meticulous wanting to avoid ANY chance of electrical issues...

pictures of my wife?

If that got you laid I need to make that investment, too!
Hey wait a minute, I already do have two batteries.

I've made an appointment for your wife with Nat for you.

Would Saturday morning work OK?

Well my wife called last night, she had to jump start someone else at work in the car park, I said use which ever battery is closest (left or right, doesn't matter, both the same Optima group 31A yellow top 900CCA etc), hook them up, no need to run your engine, just get them to start their vehicle, these will spin up an aircraft.
Well I don't know if the dual batteries had anything to do with it or not but "I" had a good time last night!
