Finally stranded me...
When batteries are wired in parallel, you are correct that it acts like one 12V battery. The second battery will add additional amps. There is no benefit to swapping,as accessories will draw off both batteries equally (since electrically they are acting as one).- bboyce10

2007-2014 Tahoe owners - would you do it all over...?
I had an 09 that was great. Bought a 2011 that was not so great. It had all maintenance on time according to the manual. The motor started running rough with no power. Limped into the dealer who said they had to replace the computer and rebuild the bottom half of the engine. I consider that...- bboyce10

2008 Yukon Electrical Problems
KIZMO: If your dashboard gauge reads 14, you are probably OK. There may be better ways, but I always test by starting the engine, and then pulling off the positive battery cable. The engine should remain running. Then insert your multi-meter (set for DC volts) between that positive cable (you...- bboyce10

2008 Yukon Electrical Problems
KIZMO: Its the main ground cable from the battery to the block that is inherently too small for the electrical load. It may test out as within "spec", but its just too small.

2008 Yukon Electrical Problems
I had this same issue with my 2009 Tahoe. After changing out the battery, the fuse, the fuse connection box, alternator, etc.....and having the problem go away for a while only to come back at some point later. I finally started testing on my own. I believe the ground cable from the batter is...- bboyce10
