Hi
Looking to fit a dual battery and wondered if it’s better to use narva circuit breaker or if it’s ok to use a oex brand. Is oex brand circuit breaker as good as narva, also seen a lv brand at auto one, would that be ok as well If anyone is able to answer that’d be good Thanks |

..or perhaps https://www.jaycar.com.au/12v-125a-d...sort=relevance or https://www.altronics.com.au/p/s2682...-isolator-kit/ and https://www.altronics.com.au/p/s2695...olator-switch/ Altronics and Jaycar also sell circuit breakers of various amp ratings if that is the way you prefer to go.

i suppose first you have to ask your self what your fitting the second battery for as to what to use
im guessing this the falcon i knew you had or have you since changed vehicles ? is this to run a fridge or appliances or to start the vehicle if the main battery goes flat ?? if its not required to be used as a starting battery it may open options as you only need to have it charge independently from main and drain via say fridge or tools or other appliances/accessories fitted to the vehicle whilst not draining the main battery at the same time

You need more than a circuit breaker my Copper Coast caravanning, looking for friends friend.
I love giving unsolicited 'advice', its crap, but at the price you pay for it, you can't complain. Quote:
You could probably use 2x manual reset circuit breakers on both sides of the solenoid close to the positive terminals on both batteries rather than AMG/MEGA fuses, someone here on AFF had mentioned they do that on their installs and it makes a lot of sense. |
