Hello again,
Finally received the dual battery system for the 80 series from ARB with the 'smart solenoid'. Reading over the instructions in preperation for the install this weekend I have a question I hope you may be able to help me with.
I notice the dual battery system gets some wires run to the 'power outlet box'. When i run the cigarette adaptors for some 12v appliances to run off the deep cycle... do i run the cables to the battery (with fuse box etc) or to the power outlet box? I presume the power outlet box still draws its power from the cranking battery.
Once again your comments are appreciated - thank you

Hi I hope i understood your questions properly...the wiring from ARB to the smart solenoid suggests power come from the box of fuses near the aircleaner is that right.....
Ok they are from the main battery. To control the smart solenoid, that would make sence.
What you can do is this.....Go to a auto parts outlet or a wrecker, and get a fuse box. Attatch it to the aux battery with the large wire from the isolator.
Run all your aux power off this fuse box. If you like, connect the duke box and spotlights up aswell. This gets the aux battery used whilst normal driving.....
Hope this helps
Andrew
ps another way would be to buy a fuseable link setup off a wrecker and then you have a spare if your main one blows.
