nissan pathfinder piranha battery system

Anything Piranha is disgustingly overpriced. If you can make a battery tray, or buy one, you can get the rest of the components for a fraction of the Piranha, which are virtually the identical parts.

Is there actually space in the Pathfinder to fit a second battery under the hood?

You could always fit it in the back in a plastic box vented to the outside. Saves cluttering the engine bay any further.

Sounds like all you need is a relay and some wire. If you connect the relay so that terminal on the back of the alternator is connected to you second battery when the ignition is on you will be away. Eric.

indentelect, Have a piranha system fitted to 80 series, it wasn't expensive when you don't know there are cheaper but indentical units on market. Anyway, got it at cost. Fitted it myself, and had no dramas, there were suitable directions included, with ample cable to do the job under the bonnet. There is only 3 cables to hook up, one to each battery, and the 3rd to ign source. Oh yeah, might be an earth there too? Only got the cable, "black box" kit as had a genuine 2nd bat/carrier fitted. Has been working well over the past 2 years.

Try whitworths.com.au for battery tray, boxes, prices vary from $16.95 up to $89.90 for a sealed case with all bells & whistles, which would suit fitting in rear of your vehicle. Regards...

I have a piranha system for my GQ sittin right behind my bum here!

Price, couldnt be happier, I got the full house set with the on dash thing that you can switch from which battery you want charged etc..

installation instructions are included, and Im a MORON when it comes to auto elects, but this couldnt be simpler I dont think!

Go with it, I dont think you could complain.

if unsure try Rotronics in Qld, they will answer ALL your questions on the phone, and send you a CD with all their stuff on it for you to look at..

But I still went Piranha as that was the only battery tray that would fit with my turbo, so went with the whole thing.

I saw in a post somewere that Piranha were made by rotronics and rebadged. Does anybody know if this is true.
Also have a look at rotronics web site it has a great explanation of electronic systems.
