The stock aux battery setup is better than the GoWesty one. Don't
downgrade to reduced charging.

The recommended install procedure is to purchase  the GOWESTY auxiliary battery kit. My 1988 Westy came with the factory  auxiliary battery hookup already installed. My question is do I really need the GOWESTY add on or use the factory kit on board already. I've been using the 2nd battery for years. I have a battery charger, 800 watt inverter, and my truck fridge running off the 2nd battery with no problems but I would also like to add my stereo to the 2nd battery next. Does anyone have any experience with the solar kit. Any help would be appreciated.
