I want to run a dual battery for accessories when camping/working, so I dont flatten my main battery. I've got the wiring side sorted out, just going to copy my mates setup on his landcruiser.
Apparnently theres plenty of room next to the fuel tank to place the battery, BUT is that such a good idea. I keep getting mixed opinions.
Worst case, fuel vapours in a sealed enviroment with a spark from electricity, potentially very bad and no more ute.
Others are telling me that there wont be any fuel fumes in there and its not sealed area. Plus the battery shouldnt actually be sparking anyway.
Anyone done something similar, or got any advice.
My plan is to run a switch in the cabin to have the battery charging, or not charging, and run 2 X 12volt sockets off the battery to the two front corners of the tub.
