Hi All,
Finally got around to sorting out a second battery under the passenger seat. It was my first attempt at doing it and so far so good. I used a Century Hi-Performance battery as my second battery, firstly because of the price and secondly because all I run at the moment is a 40L Waeco and I didn't see the need for an expensive Optima etc. I leave the Waeco in the back all the time and the battery hasn't gone flat yet. I am using a Redarc BCDC1220 as my battery management unit which I bought from OL. I placed the Redarc where it is mainly so I can see how the battery is going just by opening the door. The battery had a slight bit of movement left to right after it was secured but that has been fixed by putting some square cut off's from an old camping mat down the side between the batteries and the side of the battery box.
Cheers, Paul
