Hi Guys and Girls,
I'm having a dual battery setup installed by an auto electrician in a few weeks and am looking for what type of options and accessories I should be looking at. I want to run whatever cables are needed now and what I can foresee needing in the future now so if i decide to add something later the cable will already be installed.
I have a prado 150 with twin drawers and an engel 39 ltr fridge/freezer
These are the things I'm definitely getting installed
REDARK 1225D charger solar compatible
UHF radio
Battery override switch and solenoid to join battery 1 and 2 together in an emergency to start car
Anderson plug to rear of vehicle from battery 2 for fridge
2 sockets at rear from battery 2 for general power
2 spare circuits run to the rear for future additions
Possible ideas Ive had to be installed
Spot lights wiring (I don't have spot lights yet but will get the cables run and a deutsch plug attached ready to be hooked up)
Anderson plug from battery 1 for compressor (I was thinking of having one in the bonnet and one at the towball)
Cable with deutsch plug run up to front of roof rack for a lightbar
Cable with deutsch plug run up to the back of roof rack for 2 work lights/reversing lights
Maybe some switch cable from rear to console so that if i want to install switches the cable is already their?
I was thinking of having a solar panel fitted to the roof rack at some stage to help keep the battery topped up, im very limited for space on the roof rack so I'm thinking a semi-flexible solar blanket that can be glued to a piece of metal and bolted to the roof rack. So if this isn't a totally stupid idea then I should probably have the solar cable ran up to the roof rack too.
Sorry for the confusing post, but if anyone has any tips, or advice on what additions or changes I should make it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
