Default Dual Battery SystemHey all,

I'm new to JK Forum and couldn't figure out how to start a new thread. Could anyone help guide me on that?

Also, I'm looking to install a light bar and winch, however, a friend mentioned adding a dual battery kit. What are y'all thoughts on that? Is it necessary? Any pros and cons of the dual battery system? Do I need it or can I get by with my current stock battery?

Your fine with 1 battery unless your wanting to use your lightbar with the engine off.

For hours on end. LED's are efficient with the power, even in larger bars.

Very hard on the alternator if you have 2 batteries and run them down quite a way. Need an electronic cycling switch. Personally one top quality high ampere/hour battery works just fine. Up here in igloo country batteries seem to last about 6-7 years.
