Hi All,
I would appreciate honest opinions re a thought I've had prior to our 4 mth. trip to the Continent (which commences on the 14th of this month)
Our Engine Battery has been showing signs of old age and, if left unused for a period of time, Say 4 weeks has a voltage of about 12 volts. The van still starts but it is obvious that it needs renewing.
I've got a new battery on order but it occurs that I could incorporate the 'old' battery into the already fitted 2 x 110amp hr batteries already fitted to the habitation side. They are in turn connected to a solar system on the roof.
Here comes the question. Would the addition of the 88 Amp Hr battery to the already fitted two batteries be of use in increasing the 'bank' of available Amp hrs or would the well used battery have a derogatory effect on the two batteries already there. It wouldn't be a permanent fixture but something to add during this coming winter.
Over to you. All comments gratefully received.
