Thread: Dual battery?

In the meantime I'm using a Dometic PLB40 to run the fridge on short trips and carrying a Noco GBX45 to hopefully save me from a flat starter battery scenario.

I'm in total agreement with the "let's-go-light" idea. My current Defender can afford to have stuff bolted up to it. The new one will be frugal. So 12kg of 100aH Lithium Battery won't be an issue given that one of the travelling luxuries is running a fridge. A winch hasn't factored in my calculations either mass or resale.

All hidden and out of the way.

I'm not sure how the wiring will find its way from the battery under the driver's seat in the new Defender to the rear space behind the rear seats...do you have any ideas?
