try to get opinions on battery set ups. I am replacing my battery, the GX calls for a group 27, but a group 31 will be a really tight fit. Some guys are now running 2 group 34 or 35. I am looking at this for camping, being out in the middle of no place, winching should it be needed.
So looking at only one make of battery, Northstar, A group 31 will give 1150CCA & Resevre of 220mins and a capacity at 20hr rate of 102ah. Each group 35 is 880CCA & resever of 115 mins and a capacity at 20hr rate of 60ah. buy.northstarbattery.com
Are dual batteries needed? With improvements in batteries will one big battery be enough? Would I be better use the one battery and install a cut off to stop battery drain?
Also the area left for a second battery would mean a smaller second than the main.
