some tech?
maybe I'll post a little tech here while I have a chance.
I realize this is NOT the reason you put a dual battery setup in your truck but you just never know when you may have to use it. One of the reasons I went with the National Luna over the Hellroaring or others was the monitor. Just a little more peace of mind. I had a 5.5 hour ferry ride the other day and I had only driven about 5 miles the day previous so the fridge was starting to take it's toll on the second optima. During the ferry ride I chose my truck over the overcroweded deck. I watched a few movies, charged my laptop (my inverter requires the key in the on position) and my phone. the fridge also cycled a dozen times or so.
As the night went on I watched both batteries deplete but not to critical stage. regardless as the ferry approached the dock, i reached down, push the button to join the two batteries and started the truck. the monitor took any stress off of being the gringo stuck on the boat.
