Nice clean install. I'm not quite at a point where I need this kind of setup, but I do hope one day that I will be able to travel extensively enough to need a fridge. I feel like like I've seen some dual battery installs that seemed unnecessarily complicated, but this looks pleasantly straightforward. Nice work and looking forward to seeing the continued evolution of the ALNSMobile.
Thanks! Once you understood the electrical sketch/pattern it's actually pretty easy yes 😉 And the ALNSMobile... That's actually a well find name for the foz! I love it 👊
This is a good instructional video. I’ve noticed a few points. 1. That charge wire is TINY, the amount of voltage drop along the length of that car will be crazy. 2. Why not use a voltage sensitive relay or a DC/DC charger? A solenoid is very primitive technology 3. Using screw together and idc type connectors is asking for issues. Houses don’t move and idc connectors are not designed for multi strand cable. 4. Where the hell are the fuses. I did not see a single one in that entire install. This again is asking for trouble. I do this for a living and this is very much not the right way to go about it. Charge wire should be AT LEAST 8b&s and have a circuit breaker/fuse anywhere near a battery.
I love watching your videos and they give me the motivation to mod my Fozzy! A note on the lead acid battery inside the vehicle cabin. Lead acid batteries create hydrogen and oxygen when being charged and can create an unpleasant smell. Plus there are other safety concerns with the acid in the case of a rollover. It might be worth your time and look into a vented battery box for your extra battery. Keep up the great videos and I look forward to your upcoming trip!
Hey John! Thank you for your nice comment and all the advices! I really appreciate 😉 The battery is gonna be under my storage setup so I'm not really concern about acid leaks. But I might put some vents around the battery to get rid of gaz and smells
Agreed. Ideally, an AGM battery could be installed and not have that issue. Also, can be mounted on its side, so the rear floor could cover it. Great video
Good job. I’d have used copper connectors and soldered them for guarantee of not coming apart as those crimps can do. I think you can buy a battery box that can be vented through a hole to outside
As long as you keep a window slightly open, the battery gasses shouldn't be a problem. Is there a way to prevent from overcharging the aux battery while driving?
you should put dynamat or noico mat on all of the bare metal, i hate how loud mine is and that should make it way quieter on the highway, especially with KO2s
I thought about that on my first drive without the rear seats... It was so loud! But my storage setup is gonna be on top of this getting the sound a little bit less annoying
Salut, pas mal les franchissements avec le 4x4, c'est en Haute Savoie? Je suis au Maroc, j'ai le même système dans mon 80 depuis pas mal de temps. Il a été installé par un mecano. Il y a 2 mois, je me suis retrouvé sur le dos dans une piste. Un mécano à Zagora a tout démonté, a redressé le toit et a refait la peinture. Depuis j'ai des problèmes de décharge des batteries. Alors je voudrais savoir si tu peux me donner la notice ou le schéma de branchement du T-Max? Bonne continuation.
Montage très propre, t'as même pensé à l'anti-rouille, ça fait plaisir à voir! ^^ Par contre, je n'ai pas vu de fusible lors de ta vidéo, un oubli de les filmer?
Nice job! Did you consider using a Dc-Dc charger with solar input instead of the solenoid? With your setup you will need to start the motor to charge the aux battery.
Awesome video! Did you use a regular car battery or did you choose a deep-cycle battery? Are you concerned about any off-gassing buildup inside the cabin?
Hi Peter! This is a deep cycle battery 😉 I'm not really worry about the off gassing of the battery, there are two main cabin vents on each side of the battery. But I might add another one just in case 😉
j'ai le meme systeme sur un jeep wrangler, mais pas moyen de le faire fonctionner les deux batterie se lie pendant environ 1 minutes et apres ca ce met a clignoter pourtant le montage est bon, il est pas bien compliqué en plus, je comprend pas pourquoi ca fonctionne pas. ps: j'ai trouvé une pate du selenoide etait sortie je sne sais pas comment et pourquoi..
Hi, I've got a question about the Tmax dual charge system. I've got 2 different charging systems in my vehicle, one is the Tmax (via alternator) and the other one is a solar system, all connected together. Now, sometimes the whole system seems to go crazy, causing the Tmax relay to NON-stop clicking. Now, I was thinking of putting a break switch on the main cable that's connecting the 2 batteries. Do you think that is a good idea? Or maybe I could just put a little swich inline in the blue wire of the Tmax wiring? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance! Samuel
ALNSM OVERLAND yeah, but in future projects this is not necessary, becouse the chasy of the car is ground. You had a better and cheaper install by running the +from car battery and -attached to a meral surface in the install area
I don't remember how I did this video 😅 but basically the solenoid is the one who links the two batteries together depending of the batteries voltage 😉
@@ALNSMOVERLAND thank you.. ill do a little research on that. I have some high performance HF radios in my old pajero, and i am thinking of adding 2ndary battery - The radios draw 30 amps when transmitting , and that sucks a battery dry really fast, a 2ndary one - possibly with a solar panel on the roof would be great when doing some "Overlanding" here in the nordics. Your videos are very inspiring.
Bonjour je voulais juste avoir un retour 3 ans après ta vidéo. Le Tmax fonctionne toujours aussi bien ? Et dernière question, ta batterie auxiliaire est une batterie ordinaire ou une batterie à décharge lente ? PS: je cherchais une vidéo du montage du TMAX en français et rien enfin si un français qui fait la vidéo en anglais 🤣🤣 👍👍 merci quand même pour ta vidéo 👍
Ahahah désolé pour ça ! Mais j'ai choisi l'anglais 😁. Pour le Tmax, 0 soucis après tout ce temps, il fonctionne toujours aussi bien ! Et j'ai bien une batterie à décharge lente 😉
Merci pour ton retour, je vais installer mon Tmax avec une batterie Optima, si jamais j'ai un soucis je peux revenir vers toi pour un petit coup de main ?
No no no, don't drill the body like that, it will rot a lot. The cabin will be damp. The battery will be oxidized, and you will breathe hydrogen vapor in the cabin (this is very dangerous for your health).

Very true solid advise/suggestions. You can get a sweet complete kit (less bat.) for 100 ish US.❤
Great video! Much appreciated
Awesome! 🙏🔥
Great job
Thanks!
Hi, did you bore a hole to go through the firewall? Or was there a hole already? Thanks!
I used an existing one 😉 it is initially made for the AC
Good work Jordan, looks awesome.
Thanks Robert! It's always a pleasure to hear that from you 😁

@@ALNSMOVERLAND no worries man! Keep the great content coming :)
As long as you keep a window slightly open, the battery gasses shouldn't be a problem. Is there a way to prevent from overcharging the aux battery while driving?
The system automatically disconnect the batteries when : the aux battery voltage is too high and when the main battery voltage is too low 😉
you should put dynamat or noico mat on all of the bare metal, i hate how loud mine is and that should make it way quieter on the highway, especially with KO2s

Bonjour, sur la batterie auxiliaire, le câble qui part du négatif tu le branche à quoi? Un boîtier fusible pour y raccorder les accessoires? Merci
C'est connecté au châssis 😉
What rear carrier system are you using? I like that it utilizes the factory bumper.
It's custom built, check this out :

Salut ! J'ai fais des vidéos en haute savoie mais pas que !
Tu n'as pas réussi à trouver la notice sur internet ?
Montage très propre, t'as même pensé à l'anti-rouille, ça fait plaisir à voir! ^^
Par contre, je n'ai pas vu de fusible lors de ta vidéo, un oubli de les filmer?
Merci à toi !
J'ai tout monté en suivant le schéma fourni avec le kit et il y a un fusible 😉
Ah d'accord! Il n'y a plus qu'à profiter de tout ça!
Nice job! Did you consider using a Dc-Dc charger with solar input instead of the solenoid? With your setup you will need to start the motor to charge the aux battery.
I may add a solar panel later! But for now, yes, I need to run the car to get the aux battery charged 😉
i need a duel alternator bracket for a subaru outback
Hi, greetz out of Germany.. i have a question. How its about rust by your forester ?
So far so good !
ALNSM OVERLAND i am still looking for an otherone without rust / low rust
Awesome video! Did you use a regular car battery or did you choose a deep-cycle battery? Are you concerned about any off-gassing buildup inside the cabin?
Hi Peter! This is a deep cycle battery 😉
I'm not really worry about the off gassing of the battery, there are two main cabin vents on each side of the battery. But I might add another one just in case 😉
i would adda brace underneath also
j'ai le meme systeme sur un jeep wrangler, mais pas moyen de le faire fonctionner les deux batterie se lie pendant environ 1 minutes et apres ca ce met a clignoter pourtant le montage est bon, il est pas bien compliqué en plus, je comprend pas pourquoi ca fonctionne pas.

Bien joué pour avoir trouvé la panne !

One question.... why negative lead from primary to secondary?!
I followed the Electrical scheme
ALNSM OVERLAND yeah, but in future projects this is not necessary, becouse the chasy of the car is ground. You had a better and cheaper install by running the +from car battery and -attached to a meral surface in the install area
would have helped more if you had told us what the solenoid does, and how you realized the "linking" of the batteries etc.
I don't remember how I did this video 😅 but basically the solenoid is the one who links the two batteries together depending of the batteries voltage 😉
@@ALNSMOVERLAND thank you.. ill do a little research on that. I have some high performance HF radios in my old pajero, and i am thinking of adding 2ndary battery -
The radios draw 30 amps when transmitting , and that sucks a battery dry really fast, a 2ndary one - possibly with a solar panel on the roof would be great when doing some "Overlanding" here in the nordics.
Your videos are very inspiring.
Superbe vidéo et jolie montage ! T'as acheté où le kit ? Mon papa cherche ce système pour mettre dans son Duster 😁
Merci beaucoup !
Le kit dual battery T-max vient de chez RLC Diffusion 😉
Second comment. Interesting video.
Thanks!
Bonjour je voulais juste avoir un retour 3 ans après ta vidéo. Le Tmax fonctionne toujours aussi bien ? Et dernière question, ta batterie auxiliaire est une batterie ordinaire ou une batterie à décharge lente ?

Great video! 😁 37th Like, 4th Comment 😋🤣
Hehe thanks mate!
@@ALNSMOVERLAND 👍🤣
Try to tidy up the electrical connections, they are not really safe
Why?
First view/like!!!
Congrats!
No no no, don't drill the body like that, it will rot a lot. The cabin will be damp. The battery will be oxidized, and you will breathe hydrogen vapor in the cabin (this is very dangerous for your health).
The holes have been treated for rust! And the spare tire is nicely ventilated, no worries 😉
