After some hassles with the existing fridge circuit, mainly faulty low voltage cutout/monitor it was time to replace the old with new.
Also added some extra Amp-hours by installing a Piranha 12" battery tray and a 105ah Supercharge allrounder this was then linked across via the rear of the engine bay to the 80ah allrounder that sits in an ARB battery cradle.
The positive cable runs through a manual reset circuit breaker (Black & Yellow) unit mounted on the fender.
This will also isolate the two auxillary batteries from one another when needed.
The Maxi fuse connected to the threaded positive post is the fridge circuit. The negative wire is also connected to the battery.
Cable used was Tycab Marine tinned copper wire 6mm flat twin sheathed 4.5mm squared nominal area, and 38 amp rating.
The other lighter red and black cables on the threaded posts are the comfort connections for the Ctek charger.
More manual reset Circuit breakers protect the rear Anderson plug used to connect to the camper trailer and Auxillary power outlets in the rear cargo area.
Found a flat, single skinned area of firewall just behind the brake booster, where a hole could be drilled to fit a rubber grommet. Non split conduit was used to protect the cable from the battery to through the fire wall. All of my other usual cabin grommets are at maximum capacity.
As seen from inside the cabin, above accelerator.
Behind the right foot kick panel, is home to a new Baintech battery guard. This unit is very compact and can be programed simply to various low voltage cutout levels to therefore protect batteries from excessive discharge.
The cable then continues under the plastic side trim to the cargo area.
Back here a new Narva- Engel socket was mounted. I am leaving the existing Merritt type socket in place for future use with lighting etc.
Fridge runs like a beauty, and volts hardly drop.
Cheers
