Upgraded Traxide Kit Showing and Install

[apom]

Huge thanks to Traxide for this....

As part of the QLD MOD day I will be installing one of the upgraded Traxide Dual Battery Kits (I am getting the 5S) so people can see how this is done (and tell me what I am doing wrong :D)

The upgraded kit includes:


In cab module with to allow the isolator to be switched off

New crimp connections that mean no wires need to be stripped (saves about 30 minutes per install apparently)

That's a good improvement.
I've purchased some of the smaller Anderson plugs and will change mine over from the original screw connectors when I get motivated.
Haven't had any issues but just have more confidence in a crimped Anderson type connection.

I really like the Anderson Power Poles and have found them to be the only way to connect my fridge. However they do have the ability to disconnect if they are knocked around.

To solve this I have always looped a lock wire through the two holes formed when you connect the pairs together:

Makes the connection bullet-proof. Sorry it's not the clearest photo, but all I have available tonight.

Would be even better if you did this down in Melb in a couple of weeks :D

Will be looking forward to the report. Have received my instructions for fitting it up, looks good.

Nothing stoping you starting a thread to see if you can gather a posse of Mexicans willing to do the same Chops;););););)
