Do the 2020 SDV8 models still have two batteries?

I am looking at going from RRS to FFRR and like having two batteries, wondering if the L405 has kept two battery setup .

my 16my tdv6 [euro6] has a capacitor rather than a second battery so its possible that aux batterys were excluded from this date....not 100% sure though... ... - .- -.

@J_Rov:

Many of the V6 models only have a single battery, my (UK) 2017 TDV6 (with Stop-Start) only has a single 850CCA AGM main battery, and no capacitor either. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Fantastic this was the info I was chasing. I have put lithium batteries in my L494 and use one of the batteries to power my fridge. Lithium also gives far more usable storage than Lead acid. Another big benefit of lithium is getting rid of 50kgs of weight.
