Dual battery system

[threedogs]

35 ah is not a very big battery , IMO I'd be putting minimum 100AH in the N70z casing about 305 mm I think.
You WILL run out of battery if trying to run lights and an engel or similar

Yo billy this may suit your needs better

after our chat at your place i thought about something like that or one of those thumper systems but i keep thinking it would be better if i had everything installed directly into my truck..?

pm'd

its so i have a frdige, air compressor, ability to charge laptop, camera and phones plus a winch when i can afford one.. i got money burning in my pocket and i'll end up pissing it up against the wall if i don't get this sorted.. eek..

True I take this battery box for lighting only, plus I can move it around when required like down to the river,
Going fishing soon with Bob, you should come Work allowing so you can see it all working. Its very hard to use 100 ah of battery up.
Up on the Murray blessed with sunny days most days so no biggie to get the solar panel out and top up any batteries.
Even touring if travelling everyday a solar panel may not be necessary, This battery box only has 18ah motor bike size deep cycle battery in it,
as will last all weekend with low draw LED lighting, and we have bright camps when all lights hooked up

As mentioned before get the best you can afford..
Mine cost me $200 complete.. I got the projecta solinode, 3m of 26mm2 earth welding cable (its orange but split conduit hides that), and I went to a heavy machinery joint hand got one of there "stuffed" batteries for free.. they change then at the slightest power drop, so still quite fine for our gear.. runs my waeco 50ltr fridge for 2 days without a bother, so is fine.. it was still running but we were on the road that day..
And I built the battery tray..

If you can use it, grab a arb tray. Or td I'm sure will slap one together for you..
The rest of it is up to your wallet.. dc-dc charger is better as it charges and maintains your 2nd battery in a controlled way.. the solenoid just opens the food gates and your off and charging...

You can't use a dc charger for self jump starting, but if you carry a set of leads then no worries.. most solenoides have an inbuilt override option with at the push of a button closes the circuit and you are jumping yourself..

Batteries, again a starting battery is not ideal and can wear out quicker if just trickle drawing from it all the time..
A deep cycle is ideal but you damage it if your jumping off it..

And its all pretty simple to install. A weekend max with basic tools

@ Kallen you forgot to factor in drinks while doing the job,
@ Billy my set up is 100ah D/C under the bonnet for engel, winching {not ideal} and awning light.
100ah battery in camper Charged via solar if required at camp and via patrol when driving, this battery is for music and additional camp lighting, or anything 12v
Battery box if for LED kitchen lighting and used to move a light pole to anywhere I want, All my lighting uses bugger all power, Boy I love LEDs
this is powered via patrol and 80 panel if required, not yet but nice to know I have plenty
My start battery is a sealed 750CCA and thats its only job,starting the Patrol

Will this do the job?

Then all I need is a battery correct?
