- This video shows the process of installing one of our pre-wired Redarc dual battery kits in an under bonnet dual battery setup. This video is done on a Hilux but all of the Toyota range is quite similar. Check out how easy it is to install in under 15mins.

Hi mate
Is that particular bracket available to purchase for a 2013 Hilux. ( bracket only) ?
as I already have the charger and that bracket seems to be more user friendly then the bracket redarc sell on their website
Cheers !
Hi Mate, its just the Redarc bracket so you can buy it from Redarc direct
Hi there
Is that the same for a 4.0 petrol
I think my auxiliary battery will go on the opposite side of the main
Thanks
Hey mate, I would like to order your settup for my new Fortuner but I am not sure about the alternator/blue wiring as well as the mounting bracket. Can you advise? Fortuner 2021 model
Hi peter. you have a temperature compensating alternator on the Fortuner so there is no need to connect the blue wire up. As for the bracket we have confirmed that it fits the new 2021 Hilux and the Fortuner should be the same front end as the Hilux like they have always been so that should be no problem.
Easy setup. Where can I get one of those mounting brackets for 120 Prado? Did you have to wire in the Blue ignition wire? if so where did you connect to? Also does it matter what type of fuse's you use?
cduxson hey mate the bracket is “longranger” brand but I’m not sure if they do one for the 120 prado, you might have to give them a call. As for the blue wire you don’t need to connect it on the prado as it runs a temperature compensating alternator and not a variable voltage (smart alternator).
cduxson sorry forgot to mention the fuses. Yer you should use midi fuses and for the 25amp charger a 40amp fuse is recommended.
Hi Kurt, you mentioned in a previous comment that the prado doesn't require the blue ignition wire, is that for the 120 or the 150 series? Cheers
B Smith hi mate. That is the case for both 120 and 150 series. At this point Toyota run a temperature compensating alternator not a smart alternator or variable voltage alternator so you don’t need to hook up the ignition wire mate.
AussieDrifter Touring Battery Management by Design awesome mate thank you very much.
I wish I had of seen your products before I bought everything individually!
B Smith no worries mate. 👍
What size and specs 2nd / Aux battery did U Use fior this setup ? I’ve got a 12/2006 played N70 and don’t have that room like u I’d show u a pic of my engine bay if I could upload on j
It’s a 100ah Delcor Hdc27 is the part number. Feel free to email us a photo if you like. You can contact us through our website aussiedriftertouring.com.au
@@AussieDrifterTouring where did u get the pre wired kit from .
@@dannyoconner9680 we make them mate, you can check out our range here www.aussiedriftertouring.com.au/shop
Looks like there's a Anderson plug connector..if correct so can add a fridge?
Paul G hey mate, yer there is an Anderson plug in the kit but it’s so that you add a solar panel. Simply plug a solar panel
Or blanket into the solar panel and the redarc charger becomes a solar controller. Once the dual battery kit is in then any thing you wire to the aux battery such as fridge ect will run from the aux battery and not me able to flatten the start battery.
@@AussieDrifterTouring Where does the anderson plug for solar get the earth from is it wired from plug to one of the bolts holding bracket in place?
@@ontheroadagain4249 all the earths are joined at a common point mate including the Anderson plug this then earths back to the main battery which is earthed to ground. Hope that makes sense
What size auxiliary Battery are you running in this 3.0L Hilux?
Hi Tyler. You can fit a 70zz case size which is usually a 100ah battery. We use the delcor hdc27 battery on the Hilux.
@@AussieDrifterTouring i got a 100 aH AGM that won’t fit in there, guess i gotta stick to flooded in this case lol
hi mate from your range which would you select for a 105 series thanks
Kurtis Bollard hey mate. We are about to release an under bonnet kit for the 105 series Landcruiser we just need access to one to make up the instructions. You wouldn’t be in Newcastle would you 😜
@@AussieDrifterTouring haha no way, sorry mate unfortunately not, keen as tho!
is there anything in the kits that is different other than the mounting bracket?
Do you sell this kits with bracket included all ready to be installed ??
Yer we do mate. Here is a link to the shop. www.aussiedriftertouring.com.au/shop
Does redarc supply the bracket with the charger ?
👌👌👌
AGM 110 aH doesn’t fit there in mu case, too long
Yer the battery we used is a 100ah delcor part number is HDC27 if that helps
You will fit a 100ah agm just has to be a 70zz case size mate
A lot of excess cable for a “custom to vehicle” kit
Hi Blake. We find different people route it different ways and some have said its tight so we have put extra because most people don’t mind extra but they certainly mind not enough😜. Also some people like to mount the fuse holder on the side panel and there is enough length to still reach the battery if they choice to do that, others just cable tie it to the hold down clamp. Check out the photos of the complete instal all cable ties up on our website 👍.
@@AussieDrifterTouring this is true. I'd certainly be pissed if I didn't have enough wire. Easier to reduce vs to add.
No concerns about water hitting the charger being at the front?
So you just sandwich the bcdc on top of the alternator leads, you dont need to put the leads to the bcdc then bcdc to battery? How does it charge this way?
zom zom no mate that’s why we use redarc. They can handle the elements and it is a redarc recommend location. Because the charger derates at 50c and shuts down completely at 80c so it needs good air flow to keep it cool. You can imagine how quick it would get to those temperatures under the bonnet 🥵.
You left the metal ratchet handle on top of a live battery, literally only millimetres away from an electrical explosion. Sorry but you lost me right there.
John Leaste explosion 🔥 that’s dramatic.
250 a Hilux can
@@richarm66 sorry mate I didn’t think I had to explain it to most people but maybe i do. It’s an insulated ratchet handle so no risk of a short or a dramatic explosion.
@@richarm66 You are wrong, there is no risk there.
The insulated handle makes it impossible to arc the positive and negative terminals.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong.
@@levey2 Guess I was just trying to say it's a really dumb idea to leave any metal tools on top of a battery? Just because a battery is a flat area doesn't mean it's a storage area/somewhere you should place tools on. Am I wrong?
