KickAss Triple Anderson DC-DC & Ignition Wire Kit Explained! DCDC Charger with Lithium Mode.

This video was shot quickly and in one take to answer some of the questions we were being asked about the new Triple Anderson Plug with ignition wire and new wiring kit to suit and why we upgraded the charger to include it.
This video was shot to get something online for now until we have finished final video on this topic so any questions or feedback is welcome as we will make sure we add the information to the professional video that’s not shaky.
*UPDATE - Since we made this video a new one has been made with Craig that we hope will help you understand HOW TO FIND THE IGNITION SOURCE WIRE. You can watch it here: • KickAss - How To Find ...

My husband and I have been binging all day on “Kickass” refrigerator videos…We’ve watched your company videos, as well as individual views. We’re ready to buy, but the one thing I wish you had was rollers to move the unit….we’re getting an enclosed cargo with ramp. I’m trying to make everything portable as possible because we are retired, 70 years old. Other than that, we’re jazzed about your product and excited to get it. Peace and Blessings….PS: You Australians rock with your camping gear!

Ok i'll pull you up on your description which makes everything confusing, Your ignition has off - acc - ign - start thats why its called the ignition wire

[@KickAssProducts]

Yes it’s a confusing subject as many vehicles have different subtleties that’s why we have a new video which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJDWnKR4n7Scfrs

[@wesleyleher6183]

Cool product Couple of things Don’t prick through wiring insulation. Quickest way to wreck a wiring harness. Correct way is to back probe the connector Secondly. Using a basic test light on modern systems can cause expensive ECM repairs if you don’t know what you’re doing Look for a quality LED test lamp or multi meter

[@KickAssProducts]

Thanks for the info.

[@dan_2846]

This was literally my only complaint about the whole video, probing insulated wires and non computer safe test lights. As a plant mech corrosion in wiring can be a huge issue, especially with the way everything is going with ECU control, canbus etc. Im sure this would be even more common in modern vehicles

Why do you guys give an 80A fuse for the DCDC? Your manual even says the input output fuse rating is 50A and page 5 states you recommend a 50-75A fuse.

[@Sawadventures67]

Great clip Clayton love your gear my kickass super thin solar panels awesome

[@wborglund]

How do you physically connect the ignition wire? Does it need to be soldered? I have seen some other companies supply a connector with a fuse holder do you have something like that? It sounds like the easiest solution.

[@1980fletch]

I tend to tie the ignition wire to the input of the dc-dc charger, then switch the anderson plug off ignition.

[@RADIOACTIVESKULL]

How ya Doing Guy,s im interested in purchasing a KickAss dc to dc as in video, But im not sure my vehicle is 24v Duel Battery running car Only. And i wish to run 12v Solar setup as well. Does your unit handle 24v input or do i try hookup to 12v on a single battery Out of the two .. im sorta Lost as the alternator is 24v. ..perhaps a 24V TO 12V Step-down? Heavy Duty that is.

[@KickAssProducts]

[@lukescheibel6662]

So with the Ignition wire connected what happens when your alternator stops working will it drain you cranking battery completely dead or does DCDC charger have a low-voltage cut-off switch knowing the ignition wire is live

[@KickAssProducts]

The DC/DC Charger has a built in isolator. So it will automatically isolate when the voltage gets low. The DCDC still all function as normal without the ignition wire connected. But it won't be as responsive, there will be things like longer delays for the charged cycle to start and stop.

[@robmacca67]

Curious… can you connect ALL the EARTHS (Main & Aux batteries) to a common earth point (chassis) or do u need to run each of the black earths coming from the DCDC charger straight to the designated battery?

[@KickAssProducts]

i would avoid using chassis as earth personally as they can get dirty/corroded etc & more prone to vibration than using the batterys earth to earth Thanks for watching Cheers Craig

[@whisperingwheels]

And the easiest way to connect the "ignition" wire to the fusebox is to use a piggyback fuse tap.

[@Jack_C_]

Excellent! Thanks.

[@jasongrant9999]

Yep. Run your dcdc charger solar cables into a spare Anderson port On your battery box, and plug your solar into that and run it unregulated. If you don't have a solar specific Anderson plug, use an mppt so it can regulate the solar going in 👍

[@mattmullens3215]

I've set this up as per your videos but the charger is getting power with ignition off. I've quadruple checked the power to the fuse I've used. It got late, so I'm going to try some other fuse spots tomorrow in case the one I've chosen is constant battery power. Anything else that it could be though??? Cheers Matt

[@nivid01]

It’s called an IGNITION wire, which is the correct terminology, because it uses a low voltage pulse provided or generated by the car’s ignition system to turn on, say a Motorola two-way radio through the radio’s rear ignition pin, or in your case, to reset or restart a sleeping lithium battery, or moreover, to activate or turn on the new generation DC-DC chargers!

What would take this to the next level would a switch allowing you to recharge a starter battery off the auxiliary by choice, and SECONDLY what would be !!!truly amazing!!! would be allowing the solar MPPT being able to charge either of the batteries, with a switch, not just the auxiliary

[@christhomas4260]

Why is heavy thick cable needed if the thin blue wire triggers the dc charger

[@paul-oy8jh]

Thanks for the vid, quite informative and light. Q. I'm intending to install a lithium start battery and need the cutoff voltage to be much higher than the usual setpoint of around 12.6 volts or the lithium will be drawn down with the dcdc. Was intending to use an ignition switched relay but with your ignition switched blue wire does it totally override the voltage setpoint or just change them? If totally overridden i can avoid the relay. Cheers.

[@KickAssProducts]

G'day paul,the ignition wire is used to cut in at earlier voltage as most smart alternators struggle to get up to 13.2v & ignition wire will allow 12.2v you could also try our battery guard & that may also suit as well www.kickassproducts.com.au/buy/smart-battery-guard/KASMARTBG thanks for watching Cheers Craig

[@mathewurmston9734]

The old one charges lithium lifepo4 also. does it not?

[@mesutcukur3205]

Sales gimmick !!!

[@KickAssProducts]

Yes, it still charges Lithium Lifepo4 but now the DC-DC Charger has Lithium BMS sleep mode recovery feature. The DCDC will now detect when a lithium battery goes into sleep mode and will trickle charge the battery until it reaches the cut-in voltage.

[@MicksGarageDarts]

Do you sell the plugs separate? Been thinking about adding a subwoofer & amp and this would make the wiring easier as I dont want it in all the time.

[@Hefek]

Better use Neutrik Speakon (NL4) - it's widely recognized standard for speaker connections in entertainment industry and no one will mix it with 12 or 24 volts DC by mistake. Use Neutrik for speaker connection and Anderson for amp power.

[@aussiekim0825]

I am just wondering what Amp fuse you use for ignition wire using add circuit fuse holder?

[@KickAssProducts]

The fuse tap will just have to match what the rating is in the fuse box.

[@NadoJoe]

G'day there best to check the charging voltage & that will let you know if you have a smart charging system or not,i would doubt a 2003 vehicle would have smart charging sytem,if your not sure just connect the blue wire to 12v power only whn engine is running & that way the dcdc & inbuilt isolater in our dcdc charger will work manualy without any low voltage issues cheers Craig

Hi, thanks for that. Question. I find a spare spot in the fuse box that has power when the engine is running. What size fuse for the ignition wire?

Fuse taps generally not rated. If you are using a tap with an inline fuse simply use the same size fuse as the socket you are plugging into.

Hi guys. Great video. I have your original battery box with dcdc and it has the lithium profile. I'm now running a 100ah lithium battery and have also put in a smartshunt to help monitor real time current draw etc. In this video you mention if the dcdc cuts out it is likely due to the ignition wiring. My 4wd is a 2012 mitsubishi challenger PB model and they don't have a smart alternator.....but I'm having the problems of the dcdc charger cut out after only 5-10 mins then it cycles and turns back on. Should I have the ignition/on wire installed?? Some advice on this would be great.

Can we use boot 12v cigarette lighter socket plus wire as an ignition wire?

[@KickAssProducts]

Unfortunately not. A cig socket is only 10 amp and you require the full 25 amps to run this unit.

[@RD11RT]

Looks good, and sorry for a noob question - but why would you need an ignition wire at the rear of the vehicle? Wouldn't the source likely be at the front? I assume given the length on this kit its purpose is for a rear mounted battery (not under bonnet)

[@KickAssProducts]

From years of experience we recommend that you never mount an auxiliary battery under your bonnet. Excess heat can significantly shorten the life of your AGM battery. This system is designed so that you can easily run an ignition connection which is loomed with the standard auto electrical wire to the rear of your vehicle.

[@jakegalczynski9898]

The one you're looking for is the "engine running" position. Put simply, you want a fuse or power source that only has power when the engine is running - and DOESN'T have power when the key is in ANY OTHER position. The distinction between that and ignition/accessory is important because people (myself included) will often leave the key switched to accesssory/ignition, in order to play music at camp with the engine off. If the DCDC has power to the blue wire in this situation it'll start charging with the engine off - which we don't want, as the engine isn't doing any charging. Does that make sense?

[@stuartkcalvin]

@@jakegalczynski9898 Thanks. At the moment, the unit will flash Alternator with engine off, key out but a door open. The Treggy has two batteries, one starter and one for accessories (auto rear door, lights, bells and whistles etc). The DC-DC might be triggered by the accy battery (which juices when a door opens) - might have to ensure that the DC-DC is connected to the starter battery. The house battery is a 100Ah Lithium from Safiery. Talking out aloud, I think I know the root cause now.

[@jakegalczynski9898]

​@@stuartkcalvinTalk about complicated haha; my understanding of these chargers is that the Alternator light basically acts as an indicator of status as well. The interval between flashes lets you know the voltage of the starter battery/alternator input - if it's solid its above cut-in threshold and ready to start charging, and if its flashing it's below cut-in, and if it's flashing long intervals it's wayyy below. Either way I'd definitely be connecting the DC-DC feed straight to the starter battery, as that's going to be the most direct route to the Alternator when the engine is running. Have you connected an ignition wire to the DCDC at all?

[@stuartkcalvin]

@@jakegalczynski9898 Thanks. If the engine's off, I shouldn't expect a flashing alt light - but I get one. It flashes slowly but I brought the Lithium up from 11.8 to 13.4. It won't go solid and I can't move it off bulk after three hours driving. No ignition wire connected - it's bundled up under the charger - it's black with a ring connector ... to the neg on the starter?

[@jakegalczynski9898]

Just wanna check a few things... You mentioned that the alternator light is flashing slowly when the vehicle isn't running - that's normal, it simply says that the voltage at the STARTER battery isn't high enough to start charging, but is in fact connected correctly. As for the lithium being at 11.8 (the aux I assume, unless you have a lithium starter battery too??) and then you brought it up... I gather you brought it up with another external charger or something? Remember that the DCDC - in fact any DCDC - doesn't care what the Aux battery is doing, it wants to see the starter battery voltage increase - ie when the car is started and the alternator on the engine starts providing charge. If you increase the voltage of the aux battery, by solar or another charger the DCDC won't kick in. The voltage must increase on the engine side indicating that the engine had started and is now ready to charge. And ignition wire on the Kickass DCDC according to the manual is the Blue wire with Ignition on its label. The black wire in a bundle is an optional battery temperature sensor - it can be cut off, but once cut cannot be reconnected. As your vehicle is a newer one - 2008 - I'd be connecting the ignition wire (blue) to a source of power that ONLY comes on when the engine is running, like in my first comment, and see how you go with that. It's pretty common with DCDCs and newer vehicles because of the newer style alternators. I hope this makes sense

Also what we are talking about is our DCDC can bring a lithium that is in low voltage protection mode (please elaborate on your definition of a dead flat lithium) back to operation without any user intervention but this video does not get into that topic although soon will be a video that will.

I came here to roast the triple Anderson plug as one of the most laziest developments I've ever seen, but I can see a lot of potential to them.

Such a totally condescending attitude I’m this video. Instead of worrying about your competitors how about you do a little bit of research on your own product 😂, it’s not the on wire that’s for the starter motor, it’s actually the ignition wire as stated “I” which is when the ignition is on, and the engine is running. Accessories is what powers your radio which also stays on when you click one more time to Ignition, any more clicks, the engine turns over via the starter motor so do not wire it to the ON wire.

G'day again mate,yes the ignition wire is there to get a on & off signal to turn the dcdc on at lower voltages to help overcome those tricky new smart charging systems,i like the idea of smart charging systems & any way to save fuel from the alternator not working overtime is great way to get better economy & means more road trips & less stops at the servo i personally like the ignition wire connected to a power source that is only on when the engine is running & my favourite is tapping into the fuel pump fuse as the pump is only on when the engine is running
