Dual Batteries or one single

apologies for hijacking the thread.. but what do the experts think of this ? Ark Pak

We go camping for like 3 days every two to three months. So dont wanna lug a battery in the Patrol all the time.

You may be better off building your own battery pack, I did. inside mine is an 18AH battery about the size of a motorbike battery.
It will last all weekend running my LED lights, I decent battery pack with different outlets cig,merit and Anderson should set you back around $100.
or buy a plain one and fit all plugs etc yourself

EDIT::::: must fit a USB port to it in the future, already have one inside the Patrol

So I went down to our local tyre shop, they can get batteries, and he is pricing me up a 145 or 160ah deep cycle. Might have a look at these 160w solar deals on ebay, and a ctek 25amp smart charger. Should be set then, just have to make up a small simple controller/accessories box, If anyone else has any pics of their set ups, please feel free to put them on here.
P.S threedogs, I got to use your front recovery points a couple of weeks ago, getting my mate and his paj out from sloppy mud up to his axle!!!! Sweet as

Um are you aware that's an 8volt battery ? TBH I didn't even know they made them.

Are you looking for a deep cycle or AGM ?
