I believe you have a 12 volt system with two batteries connected in parallel. The voltage doesn't change, but the reserve capacity, CCA is doubled. It's just one big battery from an electrical standpoint.

All the diesels had dual batteries. People typically add them on gas trucks that are used for plowing, or that need to run a winch or other high-load accessory.
