Thread: Aux power

Hello Paul

Do you have any photos of your battery installation with the traxide isolator. Also what aux battery did you use?

Look forward to seeing peoples solutions in the rear too.

rear out-2.jpgrear out.jpgheres where I put mine - one cig socket and one Hella socket on outside (weather proof ones) - handy for lights or running the fridge outside the car and any other 12v gear. Can also plug in a folding solar panel if necessary to the outside outlet to charge the battery pack. Don't have pics but there are two outlets on the inside, one on each side of the rear door in the panel there for fridge and other gear and one more on a wandering lead. My aux battery system is in the back of the vehicle under the false floor to the right of the drawers. There are 3 x 33amp hour SLA batteries in parallel (or whatever it is that keeps it 12 volt) wired to a separate fuse box also in the back and managed via a Redarc DC/DC charger. I used 3 batteries as it was the only way to have low enough height to fit under the floor. Been there 3 years now with no probs. There is also a 64 watt solar panel on the roof connected to the rear system.

Hi Paul,

Here's my 2 cents. I mounted two waterproof 12v socket outlets behind ladder. Also mounted a 'remote battery terminal outlet' on rear drivers side.

Pics for your info.

Here is how it looks.

Thats awesome and looks great.. However i really wanted at least the first two inside the car. And the thought of drilling holes through panels sends cold shivers down my spine. I might feel differnt after I put the snorkle on which I just bought.

Thanks
