I have bought a T-Max "Dual Battery System" to connect up the 2nd battery in my Disco to keep it charged, and to link them for jumping if needed. There is no winch - the 2nd battery is used for auxilary systems (CB, Laptop, Chargers etc.) and lighting when the ignition is switched off.
The problem is with the wiring insutructions! The set I have recieved are so damn feint you can barely read the text, and the "wiring diagram" is illegible.
The device comes with a big solenoid with 4 posts on it (2 large & 2 small), a loom with 4 wires (
red,
blue,
green and
black) and a length of 250A (?) cable.
At a guess I'd go with the following:
Main Battery +ve
<-250A-> Solenoid Large posts
<-250A-> Aux Batter +ve
Red -> Main Battery +ve Black -> Main Battery -ve Blue -> Aux Battery +ve ?
Green -> Solenoid ?
That leaves 1 of the small posts on the solenoid with nothing connected -
which does not seem right to me.
So - has anyone fitted one of these - and can you remember the wiring configuration?
I then just need to mount the solenoid somewhere, and the larger-than-expected (65mm x 102mm) control panel.
Any advice on control panel mounting locations also appreciated.
