Hi there,

Very new to all this. Just got a 2013 Prado and have some camping gear for the family. Looking at a deep cycle battery setup to run a fridge, lights, and basic accessories. Wouldnt plan to be off-grid for too long at a time. 2-3 days without access to mains power max.

What I want to run with is:
- RENOGY SMART LITHIUM-IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERY 12 VOLT 100AH
inside the
- Engel Smart Battery Box Series 2

Firstly, does this work? Secondly, what's the cleanest and easiest way to keep this charged when driving? My prado has a 220v socket in the rear cabin? But I don't think this will be sufficient? The other way is to run to a 12v cigarette lighter socket, but that's all the way at the front. Seems messy.

What do other people do? How tricky is it to get a 12v socket in the rear cabin?

Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Cheers
