  • Dual Battery size and location?

    Hi Everyone,

    Just bought my 09' GXL Auto D4D Prado and will be having a new ARB delux winch bar put on as well as a DBS, the delima i'm having, does the later model Prado's have the cracking problems as the earlier models? I've done searches and read lots of info on the vehicle but my mind has become scrambled, so my question is can you please post some photo's of your DBS and any comments and size of your battery.

    Here's the battery tray i'm leaning towards.

    Your comments and experiance is greatly appreciated

    I have the same model as you. The second battery has been in the car since about week 2 along with ARB deluxe winch bar and winch. I've done my fair share of bushbashing with this car over the past 3 and 3/4 years and there is absolutely no sign of cracking. I run a full size deep cycle N70T as the aux and have a new full N70 size as the main.

        I have 2 auxiliary batteries. One mounted in a Pirana tray the other in an ARB tray



        I am running 2 Exide Deep cycle batteries (ED5 & ED50) for a total of 145 aH. They run through a Redarc SBI-12 Smart Dual Battery Solenloid, connected using 35mm2 cable.

        From there the power is run to the back distribution block with 16mm2 cable through a 100amp circuit breaker.
        I have an array of stuff running off this but most importantly the BEER fridge.

          Does this mean you have four batteries (two dual battery sets) or do you have 2 aux batteries...
