Thread: Disco II Td5 ES Duel Battery System

Thanks everyone for your knowledge and advice on a duel battery system for my Disco II Td5 ES. I have finally made a choice to go with a 120 AH Deep Cycle/High Crank Thumper Redback under the bonet (which replacees my original battery) .... and a Thumper 75 AH in the rear where the 7th seat fit ( I have taken the 7th seat out for this trip)

So now I could run the 40 ltr Engel fridge and laptop from the car battery on small trips without having to take a spare battery. And then thorw in the 75 AH Thumpeer for longer trips or when we need to leave the fridge at the camp site.

All I need to do now is fit a isolator and monitor and I'm all set.

All of the equipment (and vasts amounts of knowledge) was supplied by the team at Home of 12 volt in Adelaide. They really know their stuff when it comes to 12v applications and with them being literally around the corner from me it's handy to pop in for a chat and get some sound advice. A big thank you to Gary, Ashliegh and Mathew for their patcience, knowledge and advice. They also managed to squeeze me in today to have it all fitted ready for our trip to Loxton over Christmas and New Year. At least now I'll have plenty of cold beer and the missus will have plenty of cold champange
