The UK model KZJ 95 has a twin battery set up when it comes with the optional winter pack one with a RH positive & the other with a LH pos.On buying the car i saw that the batteries were different makes & AH but was a little surprised how quickly they failed , so ended up buying 2x bosch silver s4 batteries both with RH positive. Being 25mm lower than the others - with a standard sizes battery the leads wont reach - meant that connecting em wasn't a problem , i just put some packing under the battery straps.Ive just replaced them with 2x varta siver E38s - identical casings to the bosch silver.......?? so here is the question - the O/S battery measured 12.54 V & the N/S 11.4 , this problem having been covered in another thread i.e. unequal distance from the alternator/starter means one battery gets charged/worked harder than the other , so should i swap em round every 6 months ?
