dual battery setup
Hey guys, only had the JK a month or so and am working out dual batteries now. i don't want to do the 2 d34 optimas as they're expensive and not enough amp hours for my style of camping. I plan on installing a skinny longer agm under a seat pending enough room. Am thinking something like this Yuasa.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121968859...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I am pretty handy with 12v stuff as have wired up some pretty complex stuff before with solar etc. My question is what sort of charging systems is everyone running? I've got a 2012 3.6L penstar. If I can (not sure about how the alternator works and what voltage it cuts in and out) I was just going to use something like the projecta 100amp kit and wire up my own MPPT solar reg and run it to a 100w solar panel.
Any issues with needing a dcdc or smart charger with the electrics in the wranglers?

G'day chunky,
Here's what I did. you can fit a 105 Ah Remco under each seat.

Standard main and a D31 Marine as deep cycle
I'm using a Projecta DBC150 as the isolator and a Optima D31 marine Blue Top as the deep cycle battery.
it's mounted in the rear beneath the drivers side roll cage, up and out of the way. Mounted an ARB dual compressor on the pax side under the roll cage. It's wasted space so I might as well use it to the max.
It's mounted via a Springtail Solutions MOLLE rack.

I have 66AH under the floor, 40W of solar on the roof and 80w foldup. With just the 80w as long as the sun is out I can camp indefinitely without starting the Jeep (with a 50lt fridge)
Cheers
Steve
