pajero sport second battery

[glyptal]

Hey all
love my new pajero sport BUT the whole functionality is battery dependant, it seems to me. I cant see any room under the bonnet, for battery backup. Has anyone out there explored and / or fitted a second battery. ?????

Do a search. There is plenty of posts including heaps of photos. Search 'dual battery'.

Second Battery

As above there is plenty of discussion on second batteries, both under bonnet and in the rear.

I posted a full description of my rear second battery fit out under ‘powering the fridge ‘at https://www2.pajeroclub.com.au/forum...ad.php?t=56355

Yes,
On researching found the kits were really too big and awkward for the space available between the fire wall and the existing battery above the passenger side wheel arch.

So did the whole thing myself, found a battery to fit the space and made a tray for it protecting the new battery from engine heat.

Sussed out the whole system including charging circuit and re-settable fuses for extra circuits for Anderson plugs on the tow bar for use when towing the caravan.
Made sure all the cables were adequate for the job.
