Hi all,

Looking to add a second battery to my disco I/99. Will use a deep cycle from my boat, and looking for some advice as to what others have done re: manual vs auto battery switch, wiring, etc. I have basic knowledge but have never done this before.

Thx.

Giday Thx
Had this discussed the other month. Try a serch on duel batteries or rear outlet sockets. They are pretty simple to fit . It should have a battery tray moulded in the guard behind the headlight, just need to remove jack and tools to get to the battery tray.

a small ret top deep cycle will fit very easily on the drivers side.. you just need to move the jack and move the power steering resv. about 3 inches. As for battery isolators... many options but you might like an electronic one.. no need to run power all over the place. I installed a green monster 160 amp isolater 2 years ago and have not had any issues...
