Thread: 1st Traxide Discovery 4 specific dual battery kit

Hi Carl, in many cases, you can fit one of my D3 kits in a D4, but there can be issues with fitting the battery hold down bracket in some D4s.

Have a look at the thread below. It gives you a way of checking your D4 to see if the D3 kits will fit.

Cheers, Tim

Tim,
Does that mean the D4 kit won't fit? I am about to purchase under the lease and include the D-5S as part of the package. I won't have another opportunity to inspect the vehicle again for space. I have checked out your web site but can't find any mention of the D4 V8.

Hi again Carl, your D4 is similar to a North American spec LR4 and you can not fit a battery tray in you engine bay.

So no D4 kits for you.

The D3 kits will fit, or you can still buy one of my original D4 kits, where the battery use to be mounted in the cargo area.

Personally, a D3 kit would be the way I would go.

Regards, Tim.

Thanks will do. I appreciate your prompt response. If I can't get it included in the package I will be buying one in the very near future. Service and advice like this is very hard to come by these day. Very much appreciated.

Wayne fitted my DB system today on my D4 V8. Great job. He emailed me all the instructions and his work was first class. One very happy customer.
Cheers.

Hi Carl, I have just bought a D4 V8 and was very interested to see you have successfully fitted a DB setup. Are you able to provide me any details please? Eg did it end up being mounted under the bonnet etc.
Cheers, Bill

I have the D3 kit fitted to my V8. You have to move the Transfer Case ECU so that the battery will fit in the second battery spot under the bonnet. I've had mine installed for over three years now without any problems.

Yes it is mounted under the bonnet.
