batery

hi all first post, just got myself 97 3 ltr, is it normal for the van to run 2 batteries? got a surprise when i found them thanks

Not normal but not unheard off. Has it been used for camping?

Don't know about the 'Ace but many Bongos from North Japan use a twin battery setup for starting under extreme conditions of cold

thanks for reply,hasnt been used for camping but may have something to do with a wheelchair hoist 'ill have to look into it it looks like it is in all original condition its done realy well maybe i can run a fridge on it when i find the relay. thanks again
