If anyone wants one I have a brand new one surplus to my needs. Red numbers
Pay postage and it's yours.

I already ordered the voltmeter before your post and it turned up today, it's slightly bigger than your one (cutout is 45mm x 25mm), so I can't use the blanking plate and I had to file the hole slightly larger, I was hoping to mount my on-off-on rocker switch there, but not enough room and I have a small gap underneath the gauge that I need to fill. Display is bright blue and uses three wires. Thanks for the idea mate....

Excellent write up ova50!!! How do you find the rear Anderson connector housing? Also what is the ferrite clamp (noise suppressor) used for next to your 5AG fuse?

For what it's worth Cuppa, I've hooked my dual battery solenoid up to my winch switch in a way that disconnects the dual batteries when the winch is activated. Given my winch can draw 500A at max draw, and my isolater is only rated to 150a, it just wasn't going to cut it. Granted, we should only be seeing 250a to each battery when connected in a winch scenario. Given that most people that I've seen with dual batteries tend to have the second battery as an AUX deep cycle type battery, they don't tend to deal well with big current draw the same way a normal crank battery will.
My crank battery is 800cca or thereabouts, and it dragged my patrol with a navara on the back, single line up a hill for about 30 minutes, with it's only breaks being to setup the next tree/winch. About 300m of winching 2 vehicles at the same time up a big ass hill with 0 traction (granted, I wasn't stuck, just too slippery to get up the hill) and the battery handled it fine. Gave it a good charge when I got home on the trickle charger but all seems well.
