A dual battery system has two 6V batteries in series with 12V and 6V outputs, it powers 12V and 6V loads. Without a balancer, the lower 6V battery charging current must go through the upper 6V battery, causing a voltage imbalance. This condition causes an improper voltage to be applied to both batteries and will not allow the lower battery to be properly charged. This will lead to a dead lower 6V battery, overcharging the upper battery and damage, which will severely reduced life of both batteries.

The CURRENT SINK SYSTEMS Model 10140 Battery Balancer provides an effective method for ensuring that the two batteries maintain voltage balance, by maintaining balanced voltage and current in both batteries with only 12V loads, only 6V loads or both. The battery balance is maintained with the engine running or not. This maximizes the life of the batteries in dual battery systems.
