Adding second battery


Recommended Posts

Posted

I drive a 1999 Clk 320 Mercedes Benz anyway i wanted to add a second battery to my system but a buddy said it can mess up my charging system on the car for having to charge 2 batteries. Is it safe to add another??

Does that go for any car? Like will all cars be able to handle a second battery?

probably not. A lot of tiny cars get a small alternator so it would strain it pretty bad trying to power up 2 batteries especially if the second battery is a big one

You can add an auxiliary battery to any car. The alternator will do just fine. Adding a secondary battery is just giving the vehicle more capacity. You just dont want to mix AGM with flooded batteries.
