I run Zap deep cycle for Aux battery, the heat from exhaust ruined it, bulged both ends and the exhaust side, alternator charging correctly , advice I received from so called expert was they will handle the heat , not so , especially in the Pilbra heat, further advice was put aux battery away from heat source. now i find my van batteries deep cycle (Zap) one is stuffed. ( i run solar system in van all done by solar expert in Adelaide) Of the 5 batteries Ive put in 3 are had it,(main) cranking went as well and all less than 6 months old , warrenty not much good when your on the other side of the country. Next new aux battery is going on the tray, it cost me 3 kfor the van solar system 180 watts including batteries, and 1k for aux battery and anderson wiring .
