Default Re: Fordyce In June...

Here's a couplea shots of my dual battery setup which I've now duplicated for others several times. Putting the batteries side by side is MAJOR weight concentrated at a single point.

This is a fullsize rig, the OEM dual battery setup had battery mounted on either side of the front clip.

These were early shots of the "prototype", a Optima red top and a yeller top now reside permanent with the yeller top feeding ONLY the winch and a separate fused distribution panel for the sound system, CB, trailer brake, and charging circuit for trailer batteries.

This allows ya to "jump start" yoreself by simply flipping the battery selector switch if need be. I can dry camp in the trailer for days running off the three batteries, and NEVER run down the crank battery (the whole point of "isolation").
