Why do Land Cruisers have 2 batteries?
The 100 Series LandCruiser turbo diesels have two large cranking batteries to start the engine. This is due to the large current required to start these engines, especially in cold conditons. Ensure you charge your auxiliary battery to 100% state of charge to get the best run time of your loads between charges.

The solution is to ‘split’ the batteries into one dedicated to starting the engine and supplying factory loads, and a second battery dedicated to most of the aftermarket accessories. The starting battery continues to be charged directly by the alternator, while the accessory battery is charged using a DC-DC charger.
Do 200 series come with dual batteries?
