Need to keep a closer eye on your batteries? Check out our dual battery monitoring system - the G Screen.

It will handle current spikes of up to 750 amps for up to 30 seconds. Our dual battery kit comes with a smart isolator and solenoid rated to handle a continuous 200 amps of current flowing through it. Both batteries must be the same physical size for the top lid to securely hold them in place.For your convenience, we offer the Odyssey 25-PC1400, an excellent battery that has the most cranking amps (850 CCA) and reserve capacity (65 Ah) of any brand.Any Group 25 size battery will fit our tray (Note the stock battery is not compatible).There are three types of battery isolators out there: solenoid battery. Heavy duty battery tray spreads the weight of the batteries over a larger areaįollow our detailed instructions for installing the battery tray, then finish it off with your own custom wiring solution. Adding a smart battery isolator will let you charge your batteries from your.Uses the factory battery cables - no cutting required.Rubber caps over the pressed-in studs - you can use them or remove them.Top lid with grommets for routing your wires.CNC laser cut and CNC bent steel battery tray.Matching Group 25 batteries are required.

The kit includes everything you need to install the tray: This kit comes with no components mounted onto the top lid, but you still get all the hardware you need to install it into your 2020+ Jeep Gladiator JT. If you would like to use your own battery isolator and do the wiring yourself, or if you have specific needs that our full-featured kit does not meet, now you can get the bare battery tray and top lid alone. It's currently pouring outside (no leaks!).For the do-it-yourself guys, we now offer our high quality battery tray as a stand alone kit for your Jeep Gladiator JT. If no to question 2, do I just buy the T-MAX kit, but instead of completely removing all of the wiring, just modify what I have (after disconnecting everything, cutting the positive to positive cable to include the fuses, connecting the two pieces to the solenoid, adding the monitor wiring)? Is there a way to utilize what I currently have - current wiring, current unused Stinger SGP32 - to achieve something similar to the T-MAX setup?ģ. Essentially, is this safe enough to park in my garage? (Rather ask a basic question that not.!)Ģ. How fearful should I be of the lack of fuses? I don't know what the odds are of a short (since the truck has been driven this way for a while), nor do I understand when a short is most likely. Other internet searches say some vehicles that come with dual battery setups from the factory don't have fuses either.ġ. I've read that if there is a short in a line, you want a fuse close to each end to avoid having a live arc welder in your hood, causing a fire, etc. There is also a line that runs from the aux positive back to the rear right of the car where there is a fuse box installed and a 12v port for a fridge.īack to my biggest concern: the lack of 200 amp fuses on each end of the positive cable connecting the two batteries. It looks like there is a connector broken off at one of the posts, but no positive cables running to it, no other cables running to it. but it has nothing save a ground wire coming off of it. There is a Stinger SGP32 200 Amp Battery Relay Isolator mounted near the aux battery. There is no solenoid that I can find, no battery monitor like the T-MAX kit, the positive red wiring goes down behind the ARB front bumper, and - my biggest concern - no fuses on the wire between the positive main and positive aux posts. I think that's where the similarities end.

The batteries are in the same location as the Klaus postīut.

It's a dual battery setup somewhat similar to setup in the FAQs in that: Previous owner didn't do any of the electrical, the previous-previous owner did. To be clear: I know absolutely nothing about electrical, so I may say something a scared novice would say. Hello, I bought this 2000 LC this weekend as a secondary vehicle, an education platform for me and my family to begin wrenching (I have 2 kids under 7 that want to help), and for a weekend/vacation cruiser to the mountains and beach.
