Lithium batteries
So think I've finally sussed out 12v system for the 4by, been thinking about lithium for a while but not sure about linking and winching etc and with a bit of research looks like they're not suited. Anyways with two new Optimas under bonnet will use these for main / winch and will a run lithium behind drawers for all accessories with redarc bcdc to charge.
Just wondering if anyone has much experience / knowledge with brands, I know Invicta are supposedly top shelf but so is price lol, I think this is what ARB sell. .
Looking at ebay there is a fairly big range in price but could be somewhat a gamble lol. .
Any experience and feedback welcome . .

I don't know if they are any good or not but I really like the option of some of the slimline lithium batteries, perfect for mounting to the back of the drawers I reckon.

Yeah had been looking at some of those voltaX ones further down on link seem reasonable so might be a good option . . Measured the space behind drawers and can just fit a 175 ml or thereabouts wide battery so is pretty perfect really. .

Cheers Hodgey, so sounds like you've had no probs with battery, where did you get it from and what dollar range. . A tiny bit more research looks like Renology have a good rep and at least cheaper than Invicta. . There are cheaper ones but as with all things cheap can be a gamble. .
So this will just run accesories with two Optimas for starter, run the winch and driving lighting not much else really. As Optimas are brand new and with new lithium is a fair investment but should be set for a while hopefully. .

In my opinion you are pretty well looking at having the ultimate battery setup. You have a pair if the best cranking/winching batteries available and soon to have the best type of house battery available. Winning!

I'd run the lithium for my accessories. The batteries are good enough these days to not use anything else. I power the lights in my work ute canopy with a Milwaukee battery
But seeing as you have 2 optima's you could use a series/parallel switch to 12/24v the winch. 12v for general lighter duties with less flashover and 24v for when you need to get down to business.

That's exactly what we are planning.
