Just be careful with the inner guards cracking with the weight of the 2nd battery in the Prado. It's a common problem, so be aware of it as it's expensive to fix if it happens and unnoticed.

So only just got around to finishing the installation on the dual battery system.

So the rear fittings are;
1. Meter
2. 12v outlet
3. Dual USB charger

Ports open

 

[The Goodwins]

And under the bonnet - Ctek s250

all connected together with the 2nd battery being an 80ah as that is really all that will fit. Having said that with the dual working and in the future the ability to connect Solar directly to the Ctek S250 I don't envisage any issues.

My apologies for some of the picture quality. All up breakdown in cost

Battery tray - Ebay $120
Battery - Local $160
Ctek S250 - Ebay $225
Rear plugs - Ebay $20
Auto Electrician $130

Total $655

Nearest Quote from ARB or TJM type dealer (No names given)

"Mate you wont get it done with all the parts and fitting for less than $1500"

Beg to differ!~

If anyone wants more info on parts etc or better pictures just let me know the camera phone is not being real good at the moment.
