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.

I might know a battery man

if that helps

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

Skiddy has a battery checker thingy as well....

Don't really want to hear about Skiddy's thingy

Thanks for the offer
