Split Charge Systems and batteries

The £20 was for the relay and all the wires to link the 2 battries together. Didnt have to bother with ultra heavy cables as the 2 battries arnt linked whilst the winch is working.

We got our fridge on an ultra special offer £150 instead of nearly £500. It is super efficient and even over 3 days it never drained the yellow top we use :-)

As too linking the 2 battries together wouldnt it be more sensible to just buy a bigger battry?

The nice thing about the 2 isolated battries is that even if you completly run the battry flat by using our inverter plus play station etc you can still start the engine

When/if i ever put a winch on the 90 I am just going to fit a bigger/better battry and strap the winch to that and not bother with a 2nd battry at all

Bulli:
what fridge is it? There are some realy nice ones around.
I have 2 very strong deep cycle batteries and it spins the starter no matter what. Just to give you an idea even with a truck type normal battery, like i used to have, the engine would stall after prolonged winching...there wasnt enough juice to run the efi.
Horses for courses as ever but you will kill a battery if you winch from it without the support of the altenator.....im more concerned with getting unstuck than anything.Even at the expense of not being able to start the car. I can always walk and borrow a battery if i need to.
I winched ALL of these through this section.....
