dual battery

After being a member on this site for quite some time, I figured I should start contributing to the content of this site. I drive/travel a lot on my personal time, and nothing has fit the bill like a Suburban. I doubt there will be a time in my life where I won't own one. While I have owned...

For my fellow Gen 2 Chevy Colorado Owners I wanted to share a low cost alternative to installing a dual battery system. Because the Colorado comes in both a diesel and a gas model, and GM likes to use the same parts as often as possible; the battery tray in the gas model is large enough to...

If you are looking to run dual batteries on your Tundra this is the one and only kit you need. This is the only kit on the market that fits the big boy group 34 or 34R batteries. PERFECT for overlanding or camping. You will never be left stranded! One battery will always maintain a charge to...

I'm looking at a dual battery setup from Off Grid 4x4 and they recommend the Full Throttle Group 35 or "any other high quality group 35 AGM battery". I had to buy a new battery from Advance Auto a few weeks ago since mine died and wanted to see if anyone knew if I could use just another one of...

I finally got my half canopy installed on truck. My question is what do you guys/gals use for a water tight connection to run the main power and solar wires into your canopy . I would need it to be easily disconnected when I need to remove it. I was thinking Anderson connectors but curious to...

I have a 2017 Tacoma Off Road and I'm interested in setting up a dual battery system that can expand to accept a solar charger at some point in the future. I have been researching many different dual battery setups and I'm wondering is anyone has real world experience with different systems, the...

Hey all - sorry if this has been covered somewhere ... looked around and didn't see this specific answer. I have a dual battery system (OGE) and an ARB Fridge with wiring harness. Going to hard wire to the back wheel well. I know I need to connect direct to the battery ... I'm assuming it...

I started this thread to chronicle the dual battery system we’re currently putting together. It’s being installed in a ’17 Toyota 4Runner but can easily be adapted to just about any vehicle. I’ve got some experience in wiring lights and building fuse/relay panels, but for this project I’ve...

This is my third Build since my off-road and camping adventures began about a decade ago. I chose to build my X in 5 stages: Protection, Electrical, Comfort, Storage, Suspension & Tires. Note: Currently on stage 4 of 5. 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4x Why an X? Affordable, Nimble, Factory Locker...

I'd like to add 'house' batteries (add'l deep cycles to power accessories while the engine is off) and an isolator to my '08 GMC diesel van, which has two starting batteries; one under the hood and one underneath along the driver's side frame rail. The house batteries will be charged by the...

I was wondering if most people patch together a dual battery system or if they go with some sort of a kit. After looking into it I think this might be the foundation of my electrical build out and I want to go about it in a smart way and don't know where to start. So who has them? How you do...

I'm starting to plan out the power system for my rig and am having a bit of hard time wrapping my head around everything. I am planning on starting with a dual battery system and then adding a solar panel later when I am more ready to add a fridge to the mix. At this point I am leaning towards...
