D4 Dual Battery Installation

I had a dual battery system installed in the D4 by Frontrunner. CTEK D250s Dual + 75Ah deep cycle battery installed using Frontrunner bracket. Very Happy

I think it looks good. No space for a compressor with this installation however. Big Cry

Looks good nice snug fit.

OK for you Southern Hemisphere dwellers more room with no pre fuel heater filling that gap.

You could fit a compressor on the other side at the back where us Northern hemisphere types have to fit our dual battery Very Happy D4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST

Looks great. Did you have to move some stuff out of the way to make room? 2012 D4 TDV6 HSE White

Hi pieter, and a word of caution, I was using that bracket with my isolators.

The bracket can rub up against the reservoir and damage it.

I have had to replace it for quite a few of my customers. 2008 TDV8 RR Lux + 2009 D4 2.7
