Shit hot Rossco you are smashing it! You've seriously got the perfect "tough tourer" setup.

In the end the main thing was the temperature range of the BMS and operation of the battery with most around 0 to 50 degrees which isn't bad but who knows what happens in ther snow or in cab can easily get up there. . Can't remember what the ITech was but looks like it should be good on paper and sure it will IRL lol. . .
Perfect fit behind drawers. .
Just waiting for tray then can start putting it all together. .

A bit of info on their real world under-bonnet performance here. It is not a Patrol, but still not bad information.

My set up is quite different.
I have two DCS (Deep Cycle Systems) 12V 200Ah Slimline batteries.
Because of the overall capacity, lithium benefits (such as rapid charging) and monitoring system they are just being run in parallel.
The charging system is managed by a smart programmable control unit which includes alternator temp monitoring. They are charged by a 320 max/240 idle amp alternator which they will accept full charge rate from until it potentially overheats.
There is a MOTEC PDM unit that many accessories such as fridges run off which has a programmable low voltage cutoffs
Batteries are mounted behind the cab and under the tray
We actually pulled them apart to strengthen the internal mounting too

Itechworld are good, but they are not aussie made as some may think. They may have aussie mined contents in them. A bit overpriced, and wont easily refund you the difference if their batteries go on sale a day after you buy one.All are made in china.
Look at numbers like max continuous current draw, amp hours, max peak current draw, max charging current, and if you want a starting battery, CCA. Some batteries can provide huge CCA for emergency starting.
Lanplus on ebay in west heidelberg is a good seller, have been there and seen they fully test their batteries to make sure they are close to advertised capacity.
