  • dual battery setup and dvd/gps

    Had a piranha dual battery setup (DBE180S) installed proefssionally into my petrol 2006 prado GXL two weeks ago. went away for the weekend, 2 hours north, with the waeco cf50 loaded up. fridge worked a treat, stayed at set temperature the whole time.

    problem is that my autotunez dvd/gps unit stopped working properly, sound but no display. the unit needs a stable 12volt power supply, and previously have had to charge the single battery to bring up to full charge before the screen display came on.

    crank battery is nearly 2 years old, and the car usually doesn't get driven much during the week or the weekends, except for the trip north one or twice a month.
    i've seen some posts on problems with charge of the auxilary battery, but not about the crank battery.

    any thoughts on what could be happening here, or suggestions on a fix for this

    If you have a diesel your charge voltage maybe a little low but the GPS should run happily on 12V and once
    you start the motor your float voltage will be higher than that.

    Not sure what you mean by stable supply, any player should work happily in a car after all that's what it
    is designed to do. I would be getting the player looked at as obviously there is an issue with it.

    Cheers

      I'm waiting to hear back from distributor of the dvd/gps unit.
      meanwhile I checked batteries: meter shows 12.7 volts on crank battery and 12.92 on the new auxiliary battery. is the lower reading on the main battery an indication of low charge ? no other indications of problems when starting etc.
      thanks

        12.92v is a bit high unless you took the reading with engine running or soon after. Should settle at or just below 12.8.
        12.7 is normal on crank battery with engine off. I take it the dvd is running off crank battery? Screen must be faulty to need more than 12.7v.

          motor was off when readings taken, and hadn't been running for 24 hours. started the motor just now and screen came on OK.
          getting setup checked by dual battery installer on Thursday but hoping for some insight before then
