Car Fix DIY Videos

G’day everyone, this has been a video I’ve been looking forward to making for quite some time. In this video I’ll be install my dual battery setup for my Grand Vitara, this setup consists of all Adventure Kings gear like their 60Ah lithium deep cycle battery, 25 amp DC to DC charger, 100w solar panel and compact battery box.

This setup is only utilizing the solar function of the DC to DC charger as it’s cheaper (only $307.95) and easier to run a solar panel cable than it is to purchase a wiring kit to connect to the battery, plus my starting battery has seen better days so I don’t want to add extra load to the poor thing.
