Hi i'm thinking of getting and fitting a t-max split charge system for my disco at the same time as a new battery.
Anyone fitted this split charge to their landy.

had it fitted to me fender and found it worked really well,you also had the option to link both batteries when winching aswell
Was it quite easy to install or do you need to get the battery wires made up by an auto electrician??
Thanks for the help mate, this is my first time at two battery setup

it was easy in a fender as both batteries were next to each other all additional cable was included in the box,with the disco you will put a battery either side of the engine there may still be enough wire but im not certain,get some welders cable of ebay its cheaper than so called winch power cable..
if you nuy the newer model it has built in vu display on each battery to show voltage,the old one didnt
You need AWG4 cable for the battery link cables and AWG2 for the winch cable in my opinion on a disco. On a defender I'd be looking at 2 and 0 respectively.
Thanks for all of the info lads.
The t-max split charge kit arrived the other day and i've had a good read of the instructions and wiring diagrams and have noticed that the kit doesn't include large inline fuses for the + wire that join each battery to the solenoid.
Have done a few searches and a few googles and most wiring diagrams for other types of split charge include large inline fuses.
Question is : should there be inline fuses in the kit??

are you on about power from the solenoid to the battery?
or power from battery to solenoid?
i could be wrong but i wouldnt have thought you would need to fuse the +supply back to the battery
im sure if you want to do it it wouldnt be a problem you will just need more battery cable crimp end connectors and a good crimper
