    Simple, portable solar setup?

    OP...these work awesome...expensive though. I’ve been using the 180w version for two years now with great success. https://www.zampsolar.com/portable-kits

    Help with Dual Battery setup.

    FYI, your panels will put out rated amps only when pointed directly at the sun, on a sunny day with no clouds. On cloudy days the amps go way down. Make sure that you take that into account. I’ve got dual batts on two vehicles and like them lots. FYI2, I’ve used FLA, AMG and LiFePo4...

    LifePO4 and solar build for my Land Rover

    Just overnight loads from the two fridges. Maybe 25 AH each night. Those #’s are for full sun days at 29 degree latitude, with the panels pointed at the sun. On partial sun days I won’t see full charge until late in the day. Low sun days and I’ll just keep up. For the multi-day low sun...

    LifePO4 and solar build for my Land Rover

    Jeegro...I think that you’ll be happy with the 200 watts of solar and the BattleBorn. I’ve been using a BB LiFePO4 for a year now and love it. I serves dual use: in the Raptor to run an ARB Elements fridge, and in basecamp to run two arb fridges at the same time. In the Raptor I charge via...

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    The tracks bolt to the bed. It’s a two person project. One person in the bed and one below. Here’s a write-up that I did in the Raptor forum on the track install: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/how-to-remove-easy-fuel-filler-cap.62881/#post-1282303

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    I added a photo of the Mac's versatracks with ARB slider and a pic of the Hellroaring isolator, the truck is parked 1,500 miles from me so no more photos for a while. If you are doing an install in a Gen 2 Raptor, I can offer some suggestions. I have a BakFlip MX4 tonneau cover. The ARB...

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    I added the dual battery setup in the early summer of 2018 to my 2018 Raptor. It's been working really well for me. This winter I added a ZAMP 180 watt folding system to keep the battery charged when I stay in the same spot. Here's what I used for the dual battery setup: Hellroaring solid...

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    I'm keeping this thread alive in hopes that someone has come up with a dual battery solution for the Gen2 Raptors. Whitenoise, good suggestion on both the solar and the Li-On jump starter. Re: need for a second battery....running an ARB fridge in the high desert heat drains the 2nd G24 AGM...

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    This past winter I used two 6 V T105's in series to power the fridge, laptop, iPad and phones. I charge them up with 120v and a 3 stage charger using a Honda EU2000. They need charging every 4-5 days. The system in the truck only works if the truck gets driven more than an hour every day or...

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    I've been using a pair of X2 Power AGM's in the '93 F250 mounted in the engine compartment. One for starting, the other for AUX. I put in a solid state isolator from Hellroaring. It's worked perfectly for me. I want to replicate that in the Raptor. Just need to figure out where to mount the...

    Dual Battery for 2018 Raptor

    I'm looking for some ideas on where to put an auxiliary battery in my soon to be delivered 2018 Ford Raptor. I've been running an aux battery in my 1993 F250 to power my ARB fridge for years now and hope to do the same in the Raptor. Anyone with knowledge out there? FYI. The Raptors have the...
