What make, model, engine cc is it. Is it Petrol or Diesel? Did it have 2 batteries from new or has it been modded. What does the manufacturer of the vehicle specify for batteries. Put some meat on the bones of your question and you will no doubt get some good feedback to your query. :wink:

If you going to convert to a single battery i would personally go for the biggest amp you can fit, does your bus have a electric lift fitted? As this might be run of the second battery.
