Ok Guys, check battery this afternoon and is showing 13.7 because I set on the controller hours only at 2 hours per day, So I think I'm happy with that, not 14.4 as it was showing yesterday regards Alex

Hi Guys, just upgraded from a PWM to MPPT solar controller as this will be better for my needs and finally fitted my second battery that located in my draw unit and now have the dc to dc controller runing to charge the second battery. all seem to be working great. oh happy days of free energy from the Sun, :-)

I hope you have been keeping that battery charged because more than likely it’s stuffed. See the competition sticker in the front !
That ended June 2016

Is that a wet cell battery? inside the cabin? Not a great idea. I had a calcium wet cell crap out and it filled the cabin with fumes and that means corrosion - yet to get a handle on the potential of what slow creeping damage I have to the electronics inside the car. Cleaned out @MudRunnerTD sinus's!!!!

Hi mate, good effort sorting all that out. I dont want to rain on your parade at all mate but a couple of comments for your consideration though. I think the cables coming off your Projector150 are very small and not big enough for a dual battery system beyond a trickle charge and i'd consider swapping them for something bigger. Also i note you have used domestic 240v 3core flex for your wiring. I have used this in a previous build thinking it was the go but it lacks flexibility and goes hard over time. It doesnt like vibration and lack efficient current flow on 12v. a fine multi strand will be far more flexible and provide much more efficient 12v Current flow. I would avoid using 240v anything on your car. It will probably get you years of service but maybe not.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
