From what I've heard, the full Westy didn't come with a second
battery. The wolfsburg weekender poptop, though, with the removable
electric cooler that fit behind the passenger seat, came with dual
batteries and the second battery powered that little cooler. The
original westy set up is fridge on 12v only while running off
alternator, as there's no way a bettery could run the full westy
fridge for very long. Dual battery may have been an option, but was
never meant for the fridge.
