Single battery setups

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up...Sears is running a sale on the Platinums right now. $230 for the Platinum 31M. Save you about $60.

Thanks! I was looking at these and this helps.

Another option is to use an SPOD. It has a cutoff and really helps with cleaning up your wiring. I run my compressor, winch, and lights through one.

I already have a blue seas 12 position that I haven't installed yet so I'm just going to use that

Bump to the thread. And I got my new battery tray by pelfreybilt for the group 31 diehard I'm going to be getting

Finally got my pelfreybilt battery tray and got it all painted up. Going to install it next week once I get my group 31 diehard.

Got to love having a paint booth

I have a 180ah secondary battery (its a biggie)

Keep my car battery separate.

Large aux battery runs fridge, lights etc with no issues. This battery is hooked unto 2x 100w solar panels. I can create enough power to sustain wild camping with fridge running etc indefinitely. My only limiting factor is running out of beers!

Hope that helps

Here's another way to keep that Group 31 fully charged and ready to go...I can sit indefinitely.




I Have a Sears Platinum group 31 in my FJ and run my ARB fridge 24/7 at 32°.

No issues with battery drain even in the AZ summers.

thanks man. But the whole point for me is to not need a second battery. I don't need a second one for what I will be using it for. I have no plans to get a fridge at any point. I know I wouldn't use it enough

Ya I plan on adding some small solar panel to my set up just in case prob won't be anything bigger than a 40watt panel tho

I know it's been a while but I finally got my battery. Thanks again to pelfreybilt and Benbacher for helping me with shipping.

Waiting for a couple more things to finish up wiring in my blue seas aux fuse box

Mounted this to keep an eye on the battery
