The Ultimate Dual Battery System Education Video!

[@jasonl8326]

This video is a fascinating journey into a strange Australian alternate reality where wrenches are called spanners, hoods are called bonnets, and wires are earthed instead of grounded. Well done, and the presenter was very easy to understand.

[@connergoldberg]

@@psy06 Ok. Seems like theres some clearing up to be made. Potato chips such as Smiths are referred to as CRISPS in England and Chips in the US. Lemonade in both are used to refer a drink made from lemon, water and sugar (like a cordial) but in Aus it is referred to for a carbonated beverage that tastes like Sprite and 7 UP.

Ahhh! That was EXACTLY what I was looking to learn!!!! YOU ARE MY OFFICIAL HERO. Who else would take the time to explain all those basic concepts and vital details? This is why the web is useful. We can all help each other, even when we are opposite sides of the planet. Three cheers for YOU!!!

[@davewilson4612]

This is by far the best explanation of a Dual Battery System installation I've seen. It's a long video but this bloke is articulate and gives enough detail to allow most people to get the job done. I ordered his battery and battery box plus wiring kit and it arrived in Maitland just two days later from Townsville! His kit is marginally dearer than some others on the market, but he got my business because he convinced me that with his kit, I could fit it up myself, and it was a piece of cake. I don't usually recommend one bit of gear over any other, but I am unusually impressed by both the video, and the supply of the kit.

[@philiphill7006]

I am so impressed with the content of the video and the presenter. It was long and truly worth every minute. THANK YOU!!!

[@xiloeteknowledgiesllc1973]

Videos like this one are why KZbin rules! Over the past two decades of my life, I've walked into countless vehicle customization shops asking to build a system just like this. All I've ever gotten are blank stares, recommendations for unwanted products and generally no clue of what I was asking for. One technician actually sold me one of those Frankenstein throw switches, but that is the closest match by far. Finally! A real solution! I hate Facebook, but I'm actually going to like this guy's FB page. Well done. I hope he ships to the U.S.

Best video I have ever seen, I have been looking for info for ages. It's all there in one video. Thanks a million.

[@vickikay54]

Another video from this company appeared on my feed, which led me to this one. I have watched literally hundreds of these types of videos, (all professing to be aimed at the absolute beginner), but have never been able to get my head around the information they are giving. This video is by far the BEST I have seen. I'm a 70 yo female and have no idea what so ever about batteries or solar, but a great desire to learn. All other videos say...."then all you have to do is connect this to that".... You actually SHOWED me how to connect this to that. I've just ordered one of your 3000 W inverters, ( same price as a 2000W from any other company). I have my own battery and solar panel, but did not know how to go about setting anything up. Please keep up this level of tuition, it's not enough to tell people to do something, a lot of us need to be shown in detail, which is what you did.👍😀👍😀

[@ulrikcaspersen9145]

Very comprehensive video, thanks. I would like to make a small note though: In Europe, and possible elsewhere, there is one spare wire in the 7-pole cable between the car and the trailer/camper, and in a 13-pole cable two spare wires; designed specifically for powering auxiliary devices such as a battery-charger/DC-DC converter. These wires are most commonly 1,5 mm2 (16 AWG) in a 7-pole cable, and 2,5 mm2 (14 AWG) in a 13-pole cable; and is often used for powering a DC-DC converter or battery-charger on the trailer where the voltage sometimes will be as low as 9-10 volts. I have also seen such setups for other purposes, like say an electric winch on a boat-trailer, an electric pump for powering hydraulic devices, and other such applications.
