Hi, thought I would post my experience with installing a dual battery system into my Landcruiser 200. It took some time to source the battery tray from TJM (4 months), but the rest was pretty straight forward. The Blue Sea Systems 7622 is built like a bomb shelter... very impressive. One word of sage advice... do not skimp on the cables!!!
Battery = Dual Odyssey 34R-1500
Controller = Blue Sea Systems 7622 (500 amp continuos)
ANL Fuse Box = Blue Sea Systems (one on each battery)
ANL Fuse = Blue Sea Systems 300 AMP (300 continuos and 450 for 500 seconds)
Cables = 1/0 Marine Cable
2nd Tray = TJM Dual Battery Tray
Figuring out the AMP's which fuses to use was fairly complicated. I have several engineer friends who couldn't even come to a consensus on whether to even fuse the two batteries or not. In the end everyone thought the 300 ANL would provide enough juice to jump start truck if the main went out or to act as a dual battery bank during heavy winching.
