Batteries - help

Need to buy a new battery or 2, I have a 2 battery set up, is it best buy 2 new batteries or could I get away with just buying 1? also is it best to have the same / equal Ah?

Looking at either Bosch, Yussa (original fit 10 years ago) plus have had great experience with Numax.

I’m not sure if it’s any help but D44 have done dual battery set ups that might be of interests and trays etc. Although you probably have that already anyway.

Currently I have just the one battery which is the Yuassa many also have on here the silver one which is a slight upgrade on standard. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸

Can't give any advise on buying just one or two, but as far as suppliers go, I have used Tayna quite a few times. They have always been very competitive and quick on delivery.

Another vote for Tayna.

If both batteries are the same age I'd be inclined to replace both.

Tayna work for me too, as do numax.

Ideal setup is same age and spec batteries. I tend to change pairs.

Been running numax for last 8 years in tractor, defenders, mowers etc. Tendto run odyssey in ecu heavy vehicles. Cheers
