Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
I brought my Patrol a little bit closer to the 20th century...
Ant man fitted a new radio this morning with Bluetooth connectivity, not only does it sound great but the cell "reception"/clarity is great so just maybe I will answer a call while driving now - maybe!

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Got it all done.
Now for the battery and wiring up the system.
What cable size is recommended to link front and rear battery 25mm2?
Cheers

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
What charger, and where is it located? I think 25 is too thin for most chargers, but might be OK for a low-powered DC/DC situated at the second battery.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response. I'm using a blue sea - automatic charging relay. I'm mounting it close to the auxiliary battery in the rear battery box

Ouch!
With 3% losses and an assumed cable length of 5m, this calculator:

Reckons you need 300mm^2...
