Hi, I have a 2017 Bailey Autograph 79-4T and would like to add a 2nd leisure battery to maximise the amount of wild camping time. Has anyone done same to 79-4T? If so could you please confirm how the 2nd battery should be wired / connected to the solar panel / other battery.

At the moment both the existing leisure battery terminal connectors have two cables connected,

Also any recommendations as to what batteries to buy would also be appreciated,

many thanks

Hi Parkc,

I have a second leisure battery on my Autograph 75-4, the dealer fitted it for me. I have read up on it a little and the general advice is to fit the same make and ampage as your existing battery. In fact when I had the battery swapped across from my trade in the dealer replaced the second battery FOC as it was a different brand. Various websites show how to wire them up.
