If you plan to run any 12v accessory for extended periods of time without the vehicle running then yes, if you need to run a range of equipment such as safety lights, radios, or fridges when your 4x4 is parked, a dual battery system will ensure your vehicle is always ready to go while still powering your accessories.
Generally, your alternator won't be damaged as a result of using a dual battery system. If your battery experiences an internal short, it can cause the alternator to work harder than expected, and, in turn, causes some harm.
If you were to charge both batteries at one time and they were both relatively low then it may be too much for the alternator. Otherwise, the main impact on your vehicle when using the alternator as a charging station would be using more petrol.
If everything is in good running order, and your alternator is healthy, then you shouldn't experience a break or damage to it.
Installing a battery kit will guarantee your vehicle can run extra lights or a fridge while keeping everything running smoothly. With a conventional vehicle battery, you are likely to run out of charge and may be stranded.
Having this type of system installed will enable you to use your accessories while still having plenty of power to return home if you plan on heading off-road.
The basic components of a dual battery system are:
We can supply you with all the required components to install the system yourself, or we can take care of the installation for you.
Contents will vary depending on the brand and setup you choose. To ensure a proper installation, we recommend asking a professional for assistance.
A dual-battery kit is an essential camping accessory if you plan on going on long trips or off-grid trips. It will not only provide power for your comfort extras, such as lighting or a portable refrigerator but also act as a backup in case your main battery fails.
Using this deep cycle battery system and its accessories, you can charge your device on the go, which is ideal if you live a nomad lifestyle.
