Which Battery?

[motorhead]

Which battery is for starting and which for accessories? Dead battery last nite, this morning swapped batteries around and started fine. Went out and got a new 730CCA one to replace bad one but which one is bad?

90 Paj LWB 2.5TD Factory dual batteries, 12v

go to supercheap and get them to put thier tester on it. Or just chuck a multimeter on it and see if one reads lower. although they could both be at 12v which is why the tester that supercheap have is good because it gives you a 'health' reading which i assume is to do with the cranking amps.

I have a 2.8 gen 2 pajero, twin battery 12 volt.

The batteries died, wouldnt start, not enough 'go' so the relay wouldnt let them try. Once started they wouldn't hold charge overnight, I replaced them both, 4 months ago no problems since.

Individually they seem to hold enough charge to run my electric fences, but in dual not enough to start a diesel.

I had heard replace both at the same time as the 'good' one won't last much longer.

The battery closest to the front is the main one on a Paj. Most poeple in NZ get away with just one battery (the front one) - the dual batt ones came from the snowy areas in Japan.

Thanks for the info, I think Battery in back is now the defective one so I will have it checked to be sure. Will put new battery 730cca in front and older 580cca in back until I feel I need to replace it.

Skid, I was unaware of your voltage connections , will check with you before I replace second one .

Thanks all
