			Rear 12 Volt Power Socket
		
		
				
					
					
				
				
		
			
				
					Hi Forum
 
I want to run an engel fridge from the rear 12 volt power socket of my Disco 3. I have a dual battery system installed and was wondering if there was a way to have the rear 12 volt socket permanently on (not switched off with the ignition). Can this be done without affecting new car warranty.
 
Cheers.

					I would think that no part of the dual battery sytem would be warranted unless it was fitted as a genuine accessory.( which I assume it is not)
So its up to you if you connect a wire directly to the second battery to operate a fridge. 
There would be no warranty issue involved unless of course you bungled it a the car caught fire. There would probably be no warranty in this case.

					I have installed a traxide dual battery system which i believe doesn't void warranty, i have read of a way of giving the 12 volt sockets a permanent supply by removing a relay and replacing it with a wire short, but was wondering of there was other methods out there.

					Am I missing something?
In the absence of any mention of a second battery, doesn't the relay bridge refer to running accesories from a first battery?
By definition  a second battery with controller is separated from the first battery when the ignition is turned off.
It would seem futile to have a second battery that is connected through the relay and turns off with ignition.
Surely noone would wire it in this way.

			traxide for rear socket too
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					I just ordered a traxide dual battery system with their option of the kit to install rear permanent 12v sockets too - check out their website.

					Seeing you have easy access to the relay but you probably want to run the fridge off the second battery, run a new wire with a line fuse from the second battery to the output connector on the relay base, leave out the relay and reinstall it only if you want it back to original.
