I thought of that but that would be where his FBH is. Sad

@ caverD3: Yep, the FBH is in the way - and I wouldn't like to takt this one out Smile

I tried to contact Tim from Traxide quite a few times (although assuming that it's not exactly cost-effective to haul that stuff from Australia to Europe) but so far to no avail. But I think I'll manage somehow - you guys are a huge help!

Cheerio,
Thorsten

Didn't even think of that, as our Aussie spec'ed D4s don't have FBH, even as an option.

Even the cold climate pack doesn't have them. Laughing or need them? Whistle

I cleared the aux battery tray, after looking into other options thought it was the easiest.

Had Traxide system and had fitted before to Sport so knew what to expect and was quite easy, even with clearing the tray

Main thing that made me go for that option was reading up on it the traxide system needs to be pretty close to main battery, or there could be problems with loss of power over the the greater distance involved in putting it the rear Thumbs Up

Not sure if this an issue with other dual battery charging setups.

Could always remove the FBH, fit extra tray, not much good anyway Laughing
