Second Battery Setups for the 100... Home brews?

[Rezarf <><]

I'm going to be adding a second battery system to run the fridge, HAM/CB and lights. I'm leaning towards picking up a ready made battery tray for DIY chassis building and fitting it into the open spot on the passenger fender near the PS reservoir. Does anyone here care to share their home brew setups?

Is there a non USA spec for an OEM battery in a second spot? Maybe down under?

Fwiw, I'm going to run:
Red top optima
Yellow top optima (2nd)
Blue Sea ML-ARC
Blue Sea breaker
Blue Sea 12 slot fuse panel
Ad top it off with a 100-120w solar panel with MPPT controller.


Thanks in advance.

Dig around in my thread linked in my signature starting on page two for details on my setup.

Thanks Bretthn! But most of your pic links are dead.

Any others out there rolling their own?

Sorry for that. Looks like all photobucket users are having problems. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I will be soon. I'm planning to mount a group 27f (already have the battery) where Bretthn has his, and an ARB twin compressor where the AHC system used to be on mine.
