Dual Battery
System
Want to run a fridge
and acessories?
As you can see from
the picture we can manage to fit a full size auxiliary battery into the Pajero.
By relocating some components we move the original battery onto our own custom
designed battery tray and fit the auxiliary battery where the original was.
Charging is controlled by a Rotronics MH10 unit mounted next to the
radiator overflow bottle. The control unit charges the main battery first
and then the auxiliary. By monitoring the voltage in both batteries it then
allows the alternator to give power where it is needed. The MH10 system is
compatible for winch operation, protects vehicle computers and components
from electrical spikes and has an overload cutoff to prevent the alternator
overcharging. All main cables in the system are protected with fusible links.
If a battery cable is cut in an accident the link melts thus preventing sparks
flying everywhere possibly causing a fire. This is a fully automatic system.
All you need to do is regularly check the level of the fluid in the batteries.
Auxiliary power
outlets
As the standard Mitsubishi
power outlet is still connected to the original battery we recommend fitting
extra power outlets. We run heavy duty cabling inside the vehicle from the
auxiliary battery with a heavy duty fuse positioned near the battery. A
Hella power outlet is fitted neatly into the rear trim. Also supplied is
one male plug which gives a secure fit in the socket that will not vibrate
out on rough roads. We can also supply multiple outlets as requested.
