Thread: Dual Battery

Hi hfwebb,
Welcome to the forum.

If you look in the engine bay, there are two black plastic "boxes". One houses the starting battery, while the other is designed to fit a second battery. LR supply a clamp for the battery.

Hence, no separate setup is needed if fitting in the engine bay.

Best Wishes,
Peter

If you want to simplify things, Drivesafe on here does a kit for the D3 which includes the DBC, all wiring and the LR bracket. Have a look here.

Also, have a search as there are a few threads on this, including the small range of batteries which actually fit in that box! The Varta I run and one of the smaller (and much more expensive) Optima Yellow Tops are two of the options.

I installed the "Drivesafe" setup and was highly successful and appropriate. Also an easy amateur install. Battery selection is another story though. Found a more economical alternative to the very expensive "yellowtop" battery albeit only 60 amph but ok for an Engels fridge.

I should have said that I, also, have fitted Drivesafe's dual battery system.

It works beautifully.

I use it with a 60Ah Varta battery.

Best Wishes,
Peter

I'm another with Drivesafe's daul battery kit, it has to be the best kit I've ever purchased for a DIY installation for anything.
