What's the betting he was the owner of both, and a local councilor. Well across the rail line on the main street o...

Some months ago I installed a diesel heater under the seat. The other day, I noticed the outside wood of the seat getting extremely hot.

I have a dual battery system. I have only used the C. Tech charger on a single battery. Do I have to plug into and charge each individual battery, or can I just connect to one battery and the unit will then charge both batteries??? Jay&Dee
