Dual Battery's ARB Type

Depends which system you are considering - the smart solenoid is a simple and relatively cheap solution. I had ARB install a simple solenoid isolated dual battery setup with a marine 'semi deep cycle' battery and am happy with the results. My usage is not that demanding though - usually a maximum of two days running a fridge, and not much else.

They did a good job on the installation - ran dedicated cables for the fridge connection and the auxilliary outlet in the cargo bay.

Cheers,
Pete

Hey Matt

This doesn't answer your question but, Do you live around Albany WA??? Think I've seen your rig in the coles carpark??

G'day. I too have had an ARB dual battery kit installed in my 80 series. They (ARB at St Peters, Sydney) had to move the horn, wash bottle, driving light wires, alarm and create special brackets for some of said items. They did a magnificent job. I have had no problems thus far and don't envisage any in the future. I think with the expertise and experience that ARB has, they won't do a bodgy job. Seeya, Roscoe.

The ARB system is okay as long as you use the same battery as the starting battery, if you wish to run a fridge you will require a deep cycle battery that charges differently to a starting battery which means you will require a current limting unit tnat will not dump all the current at once. good luck.

Thanks for the Great feedback, since the post I have spoken to Lee @ ARB Perth and booked it in for the Operation!

Andrew, Haven’t got down to Albany yet. Were based in the northern Suburbs of Perth.

I to own a Pajero. I would be interested in the details and any photos of your installation. I am only running a fridge and can get 3 days out of a 700CCA Overlander battery, however I am thinking that this will not always be the case.
