Hi All
Finally got around to putting in a dual battery system -
Optima D34
Redarc SBI12 isolator
Offroad Downunder battery tray
Merrit Socket in the back
Dual volt meter
ARB 60ltr fridge (picked it up at the show with fridge cover and $100 voucher)
For those who like fact and figures -
Charge current with car running and second battery voltage at 11.2v = 74amps at start of the charge then 56amps after a few minutes then 26amp after 30minutes.
ARB 60ltr current at initial startup = approx 6amps. (more than I thought it would be)
Installing the dual volt meter was quite easy, as the mini ebay voltmeters fit behind the switch slots with no filing of the console. Only had to cut and file two bits of perspecs to press fit into the switch slots and glue the voltmeters on the back.
