In my Defender Td5 110 (2005) I use a Delphi Freedom YOD 100860 (LR original part) as the starter battery. Its connected to a second battery of the same make and specification via a simple connect/disconnect switch. From #2, I run a fridge, a light and sometimes an inverter.
I want to buy a new starter battery while keeping one Delphi Freedom, at least for the time being, since only one needs replacing. I could get an Enduroline 19001340 (120Ah / 1,000 CCA). This is marketed by Tayna as an equivalent replacement for the Delphi YOD 100860 but is imported from China. I have read of problems with Enduroline and in any case cannot trust it.
Ive been told that if Im replacing only one battery, I cannot use, for example, the 610 200 Varta Silver Dynamic. Both batteries must be the same type, otherwise both will be damaged. Is this correct? Can I not run, say, this Varta battery or an Excide Excel EB 1100 (110 Ah /850 CCA) (if either of these fit) with an existing Delphi YOD 100860?
Also, I dont know how both batteries must be the same type would fit with the possibility of having, at some future point, a deep-cycle battery for accessories. That would mean they wouldnt be the same type.
Please advise. Thank you.
