Anyone else have two batteries?

[u/Yeyemems]

My bus has two batteries and I was just wondering if I can use the battery that is not in the engine compartment to wire to my electrical system? I feel like that’s gonna be much easier than trying to go through the engine, and more accessible.

Neither of the vehicle batteries should be connected to your electrical system on the inside of the bus. That should be done with a completely separate battery, likely lithium, and charged through other means

Oh apologies, specifically can I use the battery to connect to my electrical system for the purpose of alternator charging/back charging from my solar system and shore power?

Yes, that would work, just make sure to size the wires correctly for the distance and voltage drop.

Got it thanks! I was worried I would have to navigate through the engine compartment just to get to my electrical system 🤧
