Any thoughts on this.
eBay item number eBay Item No. 251482048051
With all the lights I'm going to install was thinking of adding a split charge system.
Cheers

Andy
I have just bought a T-Max split charge system from paddocks (they were the cheapest) same as this one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T-Max-Digital-Sp...0828967152
There are two of them on the market one has the battery monitor the other one only has the link buttons in case your main battery goes flat.
Hope it helps

I'm running a Traxide kit + Optima Yellow Top and completely forgot about it! It's that good and problem free. Took me 1 hour to install and I have had it in there for 4 years now.
But given the choice between those 2, definitely the TMAX kit over that generic kit Dennis

Few people have gone with batteries from Tanya's, that's where I will be looking once I have wired it up next week, I know that yellow tops are good but the price they cost compared to some other leisure batteries and the warranty you get on them now, well to me it's a no brainer.
Have a search on here think other members have bought from Tanya's before and they give you the dimensions, or you could also try eurocarparts, there is a code on here for 25% off batteries too. Goodyear Duratracs

Yeah done a search and Tayna mentioned a couple of times. A Tayna EXV70 seems to fit.
Just off to see how much they are

£78 posted looks to be the one.
Also thinking of adding an additional fuse board at the rear somewhere. Has anyone got any info on which one to use and where to get one.
Cheers

I bought a Varta LFD60 aux battery - though if buying again, I'd probably go for an AGM to match the cranking battery better - though its not really an issue. Came from Tayna.
I fitted a 40A audio breaker in the battery box to protect a 6mm SY cable I ran to the rear cubby via the chassis rails and in via a grommet under the jack. Then fitted a 4way fuse box to feed an additional lighter power socket - and have 3 spare ways to wire other stuff into. Mark.
