mixing batterys

[pandos]

I know that it is not good practice to mix battery types. I have just fited 2 new 85ah AGM batteries on the house side , last year I fitted a new 130 agm on the engine. the thought has ocurred to me to swop one 85 for the engine start and thus gain 45 extra maps in the house side. ( the engine is a very good starter and I have a 1 2 both switch)


Would this be good or bad.??

THanks in advance.

I would do that, but I may be wrong, but no hassles I've heard of.

Sell one of the 85's, buy another 130, use the two 130's for "house" and the remaining 85 for engine start. - /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think mixing batteries is a good idea. Use a car starting battery for starting and a deep cycle battery for "house".
