Ok i'm about to set up a Dual battery system in my Mitsubishi Triton and ive a few questions if anyone can answer them i'd be grateful.
So i have a Redarc isolator, 6b&s cable, 2 100amp Fuses and of course a 100amp Battery and i've also got a 12V 3 Outlet Power Board (cigarette Connections) that will get mounted and connect straight to the Aux battery, that will be used to power a Waeco fridge, that way i have a couple spare for other things.
Q1. I only plan on really using the Aux's
battery power when i go Camping to run the Fridge, so is it best to keep the battery connected or should i remove the battery when its not needed (bearing in mind the battery will be in the back of the tray, so it wont be a problem to disconnect it and keep it in the Garage)
Q2. If i do take it out, should i buy a battery charger to give it full charge before i put it back in again when its needed?
Q3. Leaving the battery disconnected for long periods, will it harm the battery? (thats if i were to take it out of course)
Q4. Is there a way to put some kind of On/Off switch on the isolator so when its not needed, its drawing and power?
Q5. The 12v 3 outlet power Board i'm using to power the fridge, is that ok or should i use some kind of other connection?
Q6. Finally my battery is in a plastic battery box in the back of the tray sitting under the rear window, i just wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to secure it?
So thats all i need advice on, sorry if i sound a bit dumb but i'm new to all this Dual battery stuff and just need to know the best ways to go about it.
thanks ;o)
