Snorkel and dual batt

[glenstr]

Has anyone got snorkel and dual batt set up on a 2012 D22?
What brand snorkel?

Factory/Airtec will fit and allow dual batts

Iv'e got the genuine Nissan snorkel in my 2012 D22.. havent fitted the dual battery, but there is still plenty of room!

Same here on the 2012 with a genuine nissan snorkel. I'm in the middle of fitting up my second battery at the moment. An N70 size battery is the biggest that'll fit, only just fits though.

Thanks guys. I'll check nissan out. Anyone some photos they could put up?

The safari snorkle has a huge intake pipe and takes up all the room,i had to fit one large starting batt and put my 2nd in the tub

Excuse my ignorance but my 2012 d22 came with dual batteries as standard so why the need to fit dual batteries? I do not understand.

Cause the batteries you have are dual crankin batteries not deep cycyle so there no good for runnin stuff like fridges

You still can, they just don't last as long that's all. The best bit is having them both fitted under the bonnet so you can either run a standard isolator or one of the newer DC - DC chargers and a deep cycle battery (gel, agm, etc) of your choosing and run power to the tub. The Nissan snorkel leaves plenty of room to fit a decent size battery up there and you done have to make anything to fit it in the tub. Of course you can always fit a 3rd in the tub and also hook a solar panel up to it for when you are stopped for longer periods without driving the car.

I have a 2010 navara with stand two batteries. I have look at it and pulled the batteries out. There are no wires going from the seconds battery to the other one or the starter motor. Just to the alternator. And it starts fine with just one battery.

My 2012 STR D22 didn't come with dual batts
I feel ripped off now

 

[AndyVic]

Mine didn't either. Mines feb built in japan and i think they went back to thailand sometime after hence some people getting dual batteries.

I would rather a ute built in Japan than duel batteries so win for you.
