DUAL BATTERY SWITCH
If installed the dual
battery system features
an additional Group 31
A battery for additional
e m e r g e n c y e n g i n e
cranking power. Also,
included in this system
is a dual battery switch.
is permits the operator
to select an additional
position on this battery
switch named “combine
batteries”. Let’s say the engine cranks very slow in the battery switch
“on” position. When “combine batteries” position is chosen both
batteries operate together for increased engine starting power.
Note that if one battery is weak choose the “combine batteries”
position on the battery switch in order for both batteries to
initiate the charging process. If the dual battery switch is le in
the “on” position both batteries will not charge up since the engine
alternator /stator can not recognize the other battery in the “on”
position.
Once the reason for a weak battery is found and repaired and
both batteries are recharged then the battery switch should be
turned to the “on” or single battery position.
