WARRICK XL 2018 EXTRA BATTERY

Good morning,

The current lesuire battery is 110 amp with an 80 watt solar panal, can anyone advise if it is possible to add another 110 amp battery with no further modificatiuons or issues.

Thanks

If anything I'd add more solar

people Think fitting a 2nd battery helps that may be correct but now needs more power to charge it so more drain on the alternator on start up and takes a long time to charge back to 100 %
the solar mod lots have done is the first thing to look at and extra panel or larger panel
fitting extra batteries is more so needed to run items like i have myself a inverter and needs the right amount of amps in the battery or batteries

really you need to add up your usage in a day/night and then if its less than the capacity of your battery,you need sufficient solar to recharge during the following day and include the days drain as well ,  my 80 watt panel produces around 4 amps on a sunny day but sometimes only 1 to 2 amps  ,a tv using 5 amp/Hr for 3 hours could need 8- 10 hrs to recharge ,  my old van had 150 watt panel and never was short of power . my newer van is lit with leds the tv only draws around 2 amps  so the panel fitted seams to keep up

Trouble with the Warwick XL there is no space on the roof for extra solar.

Just out of interest, what on earth have they got on top of a Warwick XL? I managed to fit a second 80w panel on my Symbol and that’s a metre shorter.

Freelander UK has proved that extra solar can be fitted to wxl, check out his posts on solar

Like others I doubt that, even if limited there are 300 mm wide one for e ach side...
Google Photonic Universe....

In the space that A/S have fitted just a 80w can on most campers fit a bigger panel as I have just said on my kemerton xl improvement post and I have done for camper owners 
Its finding a panel as to the space when it comes to fitting solar panels and the reason I first see the van and check out the roof space as to what panels I can fit

I have the following solar panels fitted on my Warwick XL roof, I did get rid of the TV aerial (which was broken anyway) to make space

60 Watt ETFE Semi Flexible Panel 1080x340x2.5mm
120 Watt ETFE Semi Flexible Panel 1150 x 660 x 2.5mm
75 Watt ETFE Semi Flexible Panel 960x500x2.5mm
 
I use a magnetic base aerial if I want TV and connect it to the aerial socket on the side of the van
