Why do I have two batteries in my truck?
Diesel trucks have two batteries, as opposed to most cars, which have only one. This is needed because a diesel engine demands a high-resistance load to start successfully. In simple terms, a diesel engine needs much more power to turn the engine over than a gas engine; just under double the amount of energy, in fact.
