Reply With QuoteHi Fred and you have a good spot there but you can also place the SC80-LR on it’s side and fix it to the front of the cranking battery compartment.

I am installing a controller (SC80-12) for an Anderson plug which is already in place, but wired directly to the battery and earth bolt with only fuses in the circuit. I am not planning to put a second battery in the engine compartment (at least for the foreseeable future)
I am trying to find the best place to secure the SC80. Away from heat, high and upright to keep dry, visible to see the LED and close to the cranking battery. The location suggested for the D3 does not seem to be available in the D4.
A picture of a D4 installation may save me from drilling holes in a "second best" place. Pre installation photos of my "best guess" are attached.

Thanks Tim. I like that idea as I prefer not to drill into the metal if I can avoid it. The cranking battery compartment it will be.

Hi again Fred, and a tip, before you drill into the plastic, put a thin piece of timber or ply behind the points where you are going to drill so you don’t hit any cables.

Now you tell meThat explains all that liquid coming out of the battery case. It's eating a hole in the floor of my shed.
No; I'm only kidding. I haven't done it yet. I will need to put some spacers between the SC80 and the battery case so that it clears the various bumps and ridges for the battery-case lid catches. There is not quite enough flat area for the SC80 to fit. I promise to protect the contents of the battery case from my drill bit.
