D2 Rear Battery Install

[maggsie]

I have finally got around to posting a few photos of my SC80 and rear battery install. The SC80 fits neatly into the jack compartment, even the hole for holding the unit was already there. I had to put a new negative clamp on the battery and extend the metal earth strap so the original cable could be used. The 1st 50amp auto c/breaker is easily located nearby. My battery box has 2 x 12volt outlets in the the lid so there was no need to install additional plugs for my fridge.The other 50amp c/breaker is also in the lid for my anderson plug. To Secure the box I used 70X19mm pine and routered a groove underneath to allow the straps to fit flush, the straps are retained by glue and the locating bolts, a couple of pieces of rubber backed carpet glued on the top of the pine tidies up the appearance.
