97 FZJ80 LIFTED SC DUAL BATTERIES,37s
Ok heres the plan, I cuurently(no pun intended) have 170AH worth of odyssey extremmes under the hood a 70AH starter battery and a 100AH house/auxilary both fed off a 150amp seqoia alternator TO A NATIONAL LUNA dual battery setup I installed with battery the house battery runs to a bussman fuseblock and all my lights and smaller 12volt needs are dealt with the bussman, then I have 1 guage merican made welding wire running through a 100AMP blue sea breaker to a set of lue sea posts mounted on a witsend QP insert those posts feed a 700watt pure sine wave invertor and an ARB twin compressor. a seperate fused line runs from aux battery to the rear soley for the fridge.
NOW
heres what Im doing now.
Im pulling the second 100AH extreme (79Lbs)
I have an SBS 270amp alternator http://www.smartbatterycharger.net/Toyota/1FZ-FE/1/309.html
But I may not use it, as the wiring and associated amperage may not be needed.My 150amp alternator should do fine, in the new setup
Im going to mount a new ReLIon 100AH lithium LT (low temp) https://relionbattery.com/products/lithium/rb100-ltyes it has a heating device built in to overcome the cold charging issues. and then Run wiring off alternator to a red arc BCDC 1225D Dual Input 25A In-vehicle DC Battery Charger and will be using the red arc to deal with power coming from a merlin solar panel 110 watt Camp King Industries FX24R 110 Watt Solar Panel- Low Profile Junction mounted on top of alu cab RTT I got the merlin because out of all the panels Ive owned and all the panels tested it actually produces more power than it claims.
the reLIon will power the gopower 700watt inverter, and the ARB as well as everything else the old 100AH did.
Ill try to get video of all of this as Im doing it, I see no need to keep dual batteries up front like many have because the 100AH never fully charged anyway. this is overkill and overboard kind of but I will keep this thread posted as I move forward. all parts ecept merlin are here. So its on.
