Dual Battery in 2004 Prado GXL

Hi Bob,
ARB at Geelong fitted my 120 V6 up with a Piranha unit in Jan this year. Lots of chaps have also now done the installation. Your dealer has low level of knowledge, might be worth speaking to others as it's just not a big deal, and you certainly would hate to locate it in the boot.

Hi Bob,
TJM in Dandenong did mine. The second battery is directly opposite the vehicle battery on the drivers side. I have a Glind shower and have been told there will be no problem fitting this in as well.

G'day
My mate just had his new Prado done at Opp Lock Brookvale and is currently away for 4 week trip. He loves the job and can't stop ringing and saying that he don't know why he waited so long to get one.

Fitted one to ours a few months ago. Used a TJM tray and Piranah management system. Works great and fits very neatly. Rewired the original power sockets with 6mm twin core wire to this aux battery so they are powered all the time. Used to be a real pain in the bum having to leave the key in the acc position to run the fridge.

Hi. I recently installed a aux bty on a Prado120 (V6). Used a Pirahna tray simply because i was told it was a bit fiddly relocating the power steering reservoir away from behind the RHS headlight & the Pirahna tray comes with the brackets for the reservoir relocation. Instructions/diagrams with the Pirahna kit are pretty crappy & like most things you could make up a tray yourself once you see what they have used as the mounting points etc (i still have the Pirahna instructions if you want a copy).

Also used:
- Redarc isolator
- 8mm2 cabling throughout (to isolator & to aux loads)
- full size Exide Extreme cranking bty
- Jaycar voltage indication battery terminal (only $30)

Only thing i'd like to add in due course is a low voltage aux load cutout (per Jaycar 'low voltage alarm', but replacing the actual alarm with a relay)
