Default Two different batteries

There is a risk of batteries not being fully charged if you use a machine-sensed alternator. For instance, a new battery can be fully charged and the old battery may not.

When I have two different batteries, either age or brand, I would switch batteries underway. #1 on odd days or #2 on even days. Both batteries will be fully charged.

Of course, you can always add an ACR to the battery circuit.
