two batteries

Postby stagg65 » Wed May 17, 2017 8:38 am

Ive read all the threads but still cant workout why i have two cranking batteries.
I own a bog standard mk6 2.0l diesel t280 swb flat top.
Its not been converted into a camper yet but still i have two batteries.
They are just linked together no relay just fat ford wires.
