Hello again all, I know that I have already discussed this topic before but I need to bring it back up again. DUAL BATTERY SYSTEMS! Firstly I wanted to see what you thought of this quote I have received from OL in Jandakot (Perth)?
Steel battery box suit N70 battery (with provisions for 2 Hella sockets) - $95 (The battery box is a steel front runner box)
Redarc 100amp smart start- $175
Charge Master Dual Battery Monitor- $144
Fitting including wiring of all under bonnet test system- $250
Electrical Consumables (2BS Battery cable x 2)- $75
GST (******* GST) - $67.82
TOTAL- $ 739
This quote did not include a battery (I’m going to get the 105amp Fullriver Battery)
Thoughts? This is the cheapest quote that I have had (by far) from any 4x4 company. ARB quote was $1500.
I wasnt going to do it myself because im not very technically minded but i thought because a lot of you have installed your own dual battery systems, you guys are the experts to talk to. I am installing it into a 2004 STR 3L turbo diesel. I’m not going to move anything in the engine bay around (Looks complicated?) , so I have decided that I am going to put it in a battery box behind the left have wheel arch. I was also going to use anderson plugs to make it removable.
I was wondering if you guys had any photos, drawings, diagrams, price lists, what parts you used (i.e. Redarc, projector, arb, tjm, national luna), anything that would help me doing this myself.
I have attached a photo of the back of my car, as mentioned it will be going behind the left hand wheel arch.
Thanks heaps in advance! And I hope we can have a good discusion about this!
