Its on the front of the battery compartment, on the bit of jarrah, like the other fella above...

Seems to be working without issues (touchwood) - did 1 week of camping and didnt even think about it

Ahh, ok,, my bad,, let's try again

So where did you place the LED Switch (in-cab module) ?

Ugh? Didnt get me one o them???

Would like an LED in-cab to indicate status, is that what it is and where can I get one???

I bought the USI-160 unit, so mines got that, so I'm trying to work out the best place to mount it.
As its not hooked up yet, that's the weekends job, I'm not sure if the lights on/off or flashing all the time, so I don't want it in what could potentially be an annoying spot.

With your original battery, it looks like you were able to use the existing clamps, is that right?

The LR battery (main cranker) on mine didnt have an 'over the top' style clamp... it was clamped at the base. I re-used the little base clamps, screwing them into the wood with some roofing screws.

The 2nd battery i fixed in using a mulgo battery strap (which i had to hit with the hammer. a lot.)
