Re: Second battery?

Interesting, wasnt aware there was a tech note on battery as well..

Does anyone know, does the truck have a controlled alternator (BMW does this), i highly dought it as means you would need to reprogram it with the secodn battery install so it knows to charge twice the amount.

If so sounds like toys power down issues and a controller. My old BMW (750iL) would run through batteries every 12-16 months by design, and they would just kill over night almost where they where at the limit of usage as there where so many toys in the car that would stay powered on 15 mins after you get out the car (by design).

I intend to put a second battery on just out of the fact you can, however i will be abit carful here to make sure the truck also has the correct working with regards programming making sure it works on 1 first.

Many Thanks
