Second battery in D2 TD5 with rear AC ?

I went for a portable Ark power pack with a 105AH AGM battery in the back. Yeah it takes up room, but it'll make us pack lighter and has larger capacity.

I got a Redarc isolator installed in the engine bay with wiring to the back. I connect the power pack via an anderson plug. It gives me the option to move the power pack when I need, to run lights or even my portable compressor away from the vehicle.

Cheers,
goof

how much was the ARK pack as I'm considering going that way myself?

Im looking for the storage bin that fills that space at the moment so if i can get it to fit behind the trim it will hidden. If its too small for a bat the compressor will def be going in there.


just a different idea to try

there is space in the quarter behind this bin for your compressor so you should get both in there. Pull the grill off and look.

A little of topic, but how does having the compressor installed behind trim go with heat etc?

I know the portable compressors get to hot too touch after a little bit of use.

if it's been running a while I leave the hose out a while to let the compressor cool down before packing away in the same compartment. haven't had a problem.

$149 from BCF you can get one a lot cheaper but this has a built in AC battery charger.
