Auxiliary second battery project complete.. Second battery in boot supports all systems when ignition off, main starting battery for starting/running isolated when ignition off, reconnects when ignition on via a 200amp relay, original heavy duty cable direct to starter still in place, only the system connection isolated, so ZERO drain on main starting battery, both charge with split charging wiring when running, and 13.9 lovely volts. Fitted a digital voltmeter in place of analogue clock, which I've kept, as android head unit has Internet time aligned display in any case.. Second battery connected with an 80amp resettable trip in-line to protect vehicle loom...

If you are going to drive on any tracks / rough ground I would suggest lifting the loom out of the 2nd battery area. It will lift up and nicely go around the rear fusebox. No chance of any rubbing. 2007 TDV8 VSE

hi, thanks for the tip, although battery is on a battery tray, with drain, from a caravan, was careful selecting battery type in particular to it's height. there is a 1" gap to floor, but it is a good idea to move it, will do this, when it warms up outside!!

Hi,

Is this a preconfigured loom or one you made?

I’m really interested in this setup.
