Would someone more knowledgeable about batteries please respond. I have a primary battery for the engine and various accessories and a secondary battery for this 89 Westy's rear needs -- refrigerator, lights, etc. I use the Van only enough in the winter to keep the interior engine parts oiled, and to engage the clutch and run it either idling for a short while or for a short drive. Question: Should I have a trickle charger that I plug into my house current while the Westy is parked in the driveway in the winter? If so, should I have two trickle chargers? Finally, why would I need trickle chargers if running the engine seems to charge the batteries? Thank you. Dan in Madison, WI 89 Westy 4 speed--Enu |
