Thread: CJT's D2 Dual Battery Setup

Started covering the wires with conduit and heat shrinking the ends on to the wires.

Should not get any chaffing now, I hope.

Any good Auto/Marine electrical supplier will have a good range...there is plenty of info on the net. I get my supplies through Qual Elect. Here

That's better....very neat and tidy

I think I found some terminals I would be happy with.

Now I just have to find something like it in Brisbane.

I found some, not as good as I had hoped but should be better than the previous terminals.

Had to cut the cover slightly to allow the cables out horizontally. The terminals are designed to have the cables come out vertical down the side of the battery, unfortunately this does not work on the Optimas.

Where'd you find the terminals? Had I known I'd have shot you some $$$$ to pick up and post more (if not available locally to myself that is)

They where $14.00 each from Battery World.

I went in with the picture from the supplier and they had them on the shelf.

I also got the batteries from there with a 5 year warranty for $340 each, retail was around $450 if I remember correctly.

Some more goodies for the install.

My fuse boxes, one for the front and one for the cargo area.
