What kind of battery do I need for a Dodge Ram?
Things I have gotten or ordered a battery tray from a 2007 CTD , two identical 1000 cca battery’s , and a 200 amp isolator . Figured my alternator now is 160 amp so a 200 max isolator will be just fine. NOW the question how to hook it all up ?
How does a dual battery work on a Dodge Ram?
The two battery posts are simple. Put the (+) from one battery to one post and the other battery’s (+) to the other. So this is how it happens, when you flip the key, 12v from the main battery energizes the relay coil in the isolator and closes the contacts and ties both batteries together.
How does parasitic battery drain work on a Dodge Ram?

What kind of battery does a diesel truck use?
Diesel starting batteries, like most 12 volt RV battery systems, are wired in parallel, so any readings you take with the batteries still connected to the truck are misleading, you’ll get the same readings on each battery. Anyhow, the voltage readings I got on my work bench at home were very interesting, though not surprising.
Why are there two batteries in a Cummins diesel?
The reason that there are 2 batteries is because the Cummins diesel engine has very high compression and needs a large amount of current to spin the starter fast enough to start the engine. Now the early battery failure may be due to a defective battery and should be warranted by the battery manufacturer.
