Ahahah bugger! Yep definitely meant AGM..AMG Batteries......I presume you mean AGM??
Apart from that a good video. Loved the artwork.
And the solar panel mount is exceptionally clever.
Don't forget to give dad back his battery ☺
Cheers
Dual battery systems can be a bit of a mind bender if its the first time you've had to consider one. I've put together this explainer video with a couple of examples of basic setups to get you powered up out in the bush. Hopefully it helps a few out!
Well done! NOW I have a good idea of what the dual system is and does.Dual battery systems can be a bit of a mind bender if its the first time you've had to consider one.

If I want to put a dual battery under the bonnet of my Hi-Lux, I have a DC/DC charger with solar input which I will get.
I was wondering how people then decide on how to get that power out.
Was thinking of an outlet board in the tub so thinking Pure Sinewave for a charging plug for drone batteries, some USB and cigarette lighters.
Any pictures or ideas how to mount this ‘outlet board’ to look nice in a tub which doesn’t have drawers or any furniture in it (such as drawers and the outlets on the wings).
Thanks
I used 12V chargers for my drone batteries and you will likely have an option to do this if your shop around.Was thinking of an outlet board in the tub so thinking Pure Sinewave for a charging plug for drone batteries, some USB and cigarette lighters.
If you have a canopy on your tub there are a lot of imported sub boards from XTM/kings etc which will get the job done. Pay attention to their wiring details, esp the one about using the switches as relay triggers only for high draw appliances. I have the kings one in my canopy and it is perfectly well built for what it is. They can be mounted high and out of the way - see pic. I have a very small inverter left over from years gone by and it has been put back into service charging ryobi batteries when needed.If I want to put a dual battery under the bonnet of my Hi-Lux, I have a DC/DC charger with solar input which I will get.

FYI Ryobi do a 12v charger to match what you have there, I picked one up when I bought their chainsaw skin so I could charge on the move without needing the inverter..

Yep, it works well !FYI Ryobi do a 12v charger to match what you have there, I picked one up when I bought their chainsaw skin so I could charge on the move without needing the inverter.
I’ve seen them and a couple of guys at work have them. They are slightly slower than the 240v charger due to having to step up to 18v which isn’t a big deal. I just had numerous 240 chargers sitting around here doing nothing and an inverter doing the same so went that way this time.FYI Ryobi do a 12v charger to match what you have there, I picked one up when I bought their chainsaw skin so I could charge on the move without needing the inverter.

If you have an open tub you’ll be looking for a waterproof enclosure which will be a custom job so far as I know.
