How many lift cycles per day? I ran one 12volt group 31 on the trailer and had welding cables connecting the trailer battery to the truck battery. The most I would cycle was 8 times a day. If your truck is charging the trailer battery you won't need two batteries on the trailer. If you are going to charge the trailer batteries only at night with a charger you will need two group 31's.
