Dual Battery New D22

Matt - VNET Pro · Mar 30, 2009

Just seeing if anyone has a dual battery setup on a new 2.5 ltr D22 STR ?
Cant seem to find any suppliers for a mounting tray system for under the bonnet, plenty of room for one...........
thinking of either the cheaper option of a Redarc system or the fully blown Pirahna DB180s system.............
Going to be running Waeco CF40 Fridge, 2 Work Lights On The Rear & a Power Inverter occasionally.......

Hey Matt, Ive just installed a Pirhana battery tray and redarc in my 08 D22, got some pictures here:

Dual Battery Set-up - The Navara Forum Gallery

The pics show a temporary battery I had in to check the system, now got an Exide ED5 Deep Cycle in it @ 75A/H.

Looks good Brisbanite, it pisses me off a little bit that I can only fit a 55A/hr in the earlier model D22. Heaps of room with 2.5L though. I wasn't really interested in putting a battery in the tray so it was the only option for me.

Yeah nice setup Brisbanite, did you run the wires from to the second battery around the front? How much did REDARC and the tray set you back? Might go the same way I think. The REDARC seems to do the job from what others have said.

The tray was $150 at UV 4x4 in Brendale, the redarc was $103 from an ebay seller (4wdextreme). I have 8 gauge cable running between the batteries and redarc around the front of the car, both fused at 60A, I then have a 6 gauge cable running from the second battery, through a chassis rail and into the tray for my fridge. It terminates into a 50A Anderson Plug, this run is fused at 20A at the second battery.

If you want any specific close up pics let me know.

G'Day, dont suppose you know the part no. of the tray you used Brisbanite?

Jason · Apr 3, 2009

Just had a look on the box for you, the part number is BTNND.

It is marked as also fitting a '2.8l Navara - Pre Cleaner'.

Hope that helps.

Yeah spot on just ordered one of those, just wasnt a 100% it was going to fit as stated 2.8l on website? Cheers Matt

2.8L Navara ?

No Navara has had a 2.8L motor.

Might have been '2.8l Nissan' can't remember. The footy is about to start so cant check now

Jason · Apr 4, 2009

Paperwork definately says Navara

Dave · Apr 4, 2009

I believed you.

I just think its a miss print.

Only 2.8 diesels Nissan's used is the RD28/T/TI and the LD28. (LD28 is rare in Australia)

Jason · Apr 4, 2009

I thought it was a miss-print too but the photo on the paperwork is of a pretty old model vehicle.

I didn't think you didnt believe me dave, all good. Just wanted to clear it up for Matt.

Matt - VNET Pro · Apr 4, 2009

Cheers guys, have one on the way....

How did you go with the bolt for the battery tray under the silver wiring plug bracket?
Did you replace with a longer one or just leave out?
Any ideas on a good battery supplier, looked at Supercheap Auto & Battery World, not a lot in stock at a reasonable price......

Jason · Apr 17, 2009

I go the bolt in using the existing one, just very fiddly. I got my battery from Marshall Batteries, was cheapest and they had it in stock. Was $200 delivered.
