I've seen several dual battery setups and the solenoids and switches that
have been installed to regulate the use and charging of the batteries.
Along with this I've found 100% of these vehicles had smoked alternators
or their wireloom and they always had other electrical problems that
required a manual to return to normal VW wiring configuration.
Deep cycle batteries are a good investment but if they are coupled to a
non deep cycle without the proper relays and safety devices you'll find
that the non deep cycle battery gets over charged, oveheated because deep
cycle batteries require a longer charging cycle.
I'm telling you this because I was a Dealer for Allis Chalmers Golf
Carts, Pargo Golf Carts and refurbisned Taylor Dunn and many other brands
of electric golf carts and in-plant industrial vehicles.
It just ain't something you mix without problems............ use two
regular or two deep cycle but don't mix them.
OK! I'm holding onto my keyboard to get the responses to this....
