[Vwdiesel] Wiring a VW alt in tandem with another

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

So if they're wired in parallel, what's the need for an additional battery?




  Wouldn't be wired in parallel then.  VW would have a battery it's wired to (either one could go to the D+) and the JD would go to the normal battery.  That way the VW alt can generate away, at it's voltage and the JD do likewise, both on basically separate systems thusly not interfering with the operation of the other with the simple addition of a small (or not so small) battery.
