That's some serious kit you guy's have installed 👍

I realize Im pretty off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online ?

@Jefferson Marshall i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google =)

Best looking battery setup!

Nice job. An elegant system. 👍

[@Autoplicity]

Thanks! 👍

Brilliant. It's very informative...it's just a shame I live in Oz.

[@eathon23]

I admire the effort and the explanation was interesting to follow along. Great set up.

[@Autoplicity]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Inverted_Driving]

Great system you have set up there. I plan on doing something similar in my old defender, as well as a new one some day soon

[@Autoplicity]

It works great!

Hi, I have a redarc redvision system for sale for below retail if your are still entertaining this option.

[@duckbow]

Wow, what a great setup. Can you walk us through how you created the panel in the window? Are you mounting panels or just laying them outside somewhere? Thank for the inspiration! Hope to set mine up soon.

[@Autoplicity]

Lots of questions on the details of the install so a follow up video is in order. But it’s another price of wood wrapped in vinyl. Purchased the plugs and outlets we use the most and mounted them all up. Then ran wires down to the RedArc. They’re pressure for with a small bracket using a factory mount point

[@duckbow]

@@Autoplicity Very neat. Will be looking out for the second video. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Great looking system!! Do you have place where I can bring my 2020 Defender 110 and have that system installed?

[@Autoplicity]

Thanks Jim! I'd recommend ordering all the parts from the links in the video, then taking it to a local stereo shop. Creating the panels wiring this up would be right in their wheelhouse. If you're in SoCal, AudioToyz in Rancho Santa Margarita did all this work for us

[@jaybolton6726]

Awesome stuff. Where did you run the cables from your solar down to your battery? Did you have to cut through the car somehow?

[@Autoplicity]

We deploy the solar as needed and just plug it in to the panel

[@ivanwall4674]

Thanks. This looks great. I've been looking at doing similar sort of installation using the dead space we have beneath the boot floor. May I ask, how did you mount the various components under the floor?

[@Autoplicity]

Sure we just wrapped a piece of MDF with carpet, then screwed each component into the MDF using the mount holes in each piece of gear. Nothings moving anywhere, and we were able to keep the cables nice and tight.

[@ivanwall4674]

@@Autoplicity Great, thanks. Then the whole lot just drops into the space beneath the floor? No further securing down of the MDF?

[@Autoplicity]

@@ivanwall4674 no need, just cut it the right size so it pressure fits into place and it won't go anywhere

[@ivanwall4674]

@@Autoplicity Great solution. I'll be replicating. Thanks for sharing.

[@Autoplicity]

@@ivanwall4674 You bet, TONS of research went into picking all the right stuff. Feel free to reach out to [e-mail] for any help or special pricing

I want to see the rest of the vehicle.

[@ZachBrimhall]

How do you manage air flow in the compartment? Does the equipment get hot?

[@Autoplicity]

it's fine, does not get hot

[@usanz94]

Nice system. Where did you connect the dcdc charger source? Is it the cranking battery positive and a chassis earth?

[@Autoplicity]

Yes and yes

[@JohnBaldwin63]

Could you use the lithium ion batter to jump start the vehicle if the vehicle battery failed to provide enough cold cranking amps to start it?

[@Autoplicity]

It's not designed to have that kind of cranking power a vehicle would typically need. However if you had no other choice, it COULD work. I'd rather just carry a NOCO jump starter (and do in all my cars!)

[@JohnBaldwin63]

@@Autoplicity Good idea

[@colineverson6602]

Hi Nice informative video. Do you know the alternator output rating on the D240S?

[@Autoplicity]

Do not, sorry

[@defenderoff-road]

Loved your video on Dual Battery system for the defender may I ask how you fastened the board into the window area please as I think it is a great idea. Many thanks Mike

[@Autoplicity]

Hey Mike it's compression fit, and on the bottom utilizes one of the screws for cargo tie downs built into the top of that panel

[@Bonzai27]

@@Autoplicitydo you have the CAD file for that? I’d love to print my own.

[@rafodmz]

Hi. Fantastic setup! How did you connect the inverter to the redvision?

[@Autoplicity]

You just use the appropriate gauge wire to connect the inverter to your redvision charger

[@rafodmz]

Ups! I meant how do you connect the remote of the inverter to the redvision. Thanks

[@sushisean1]

@@rafodmz if you use the inverter linked in the description, and ONLY that inverter, they talk to each other via a telephone cable that's included

[@arsenal10141014]

Hi. Very informative. Does this set need to change / should you consider a change on the P400e engine?

[@Autoplicity]

I'm not sure what's in that storage area of the P400e. If you have the room, it will work fine. It charges while the engine is running, from household power, or Solar

[@johncooper3171]

Hi Great video. How did you get all the kit under the floor? Did you raise the floor? Thanks Jc.

[@Autoplicity]

No need to raise the floor tons of space under there. We pulled the 3rd row out but in 2 row models you have even more.

[@kelumV]

How do you dispose heat generated by those componants underneeth the floor ? BCMS and inverter might produce heat when its operation. I like this setup .But this is concerns me as I dont want any electricle fire inside my vehicle

[@Autoplicity]

They're designed in Australia for operation in the outback. After 25+ days camping in death valley etc, there has never been a single temperature alarm. It includes it's own monitoring and alert system

[@docmac249]

Is there a risk of the space overheating? Do you have it cooled or ventilated?

[@Autoplicity]

No risk, having run it for a year that's never been an issue.

[@oliverfox7978]

Your input slot from house to the box what component does that input connect to?

[@Autoplicity]

there are 2 inputs. 110 and SAE. Both go back to the BCDC charger which detects charging source and recharges the battery

[@oliverfox7978]

Thanks

[@SunKong]

Is that support 2021 Defender 110 MHEV?

[@Autoplicity]

all the same components would work, but you may have to relocate some things depending on space under that rear cargo area. We removed our 3rd row seat

[@SandlotK9]

Do you have a link to the usb outlets?

[@Autoplicity]

Some random ones on Amazon

[@AapVanDieKaap]

Doesn't look like you could even fit a large dog in there. Not really a viable upgrade option for serious trips. Will have to stick with old Defender.

[@Autoplicity]

Oh it's quite large. DOn't have the dims of the old 110 next to me for the cargo space but 2 Labs were no problem at all

[@kamikazee3071]

I guess you guys bought this vehicle by scamming customers. Don't ever buy shits from them. There were missing parts. Even after I called and email them they didn't do anything.
