charging dual battery hdj80 (1 Viewer)

Hi guys,

I have the dual battery setup and i'm aware that it's not a good idea to take power from just one of the batteries. Even if it's just for a dashoard clock. Now, after loosing 2 yellow tops again in 5 years it got me wondering; i don't use the car that often and leave it on a trickle charge (Ctek). But the charging wire is connected to the right battery and it's doing it's job. My question; since it's not clever to TAKE power from just one battery, is the same problem applicable to GIVE power to just one battery?

thanks for the answers.

If the batteries are directly connected it will not matter. Do landcruisers have isolation system from the factory?

1) optima batteries are not the quality they used to be

2) 5 years is normal for a battery

3) is your tender designed for agm batteries?

4) our charging system is not designed for agm's

5) where have you seen not to pull from one battery? The stock passenger battery is actually covered and tells you not to use it.

6) the factory power point under the hood pulls off the driver's side battery.

I have a duel battery system but i have an isolator (aftermarket) fitted.
Main battery for car system, secondary for lights, AC connections etc.

I will be adding a solar panel to the secondary battery to ensure at least one batt is always topped.

OK, there should be no problems then. Will try to find the cause.
