Complete Dual Battery Systems, Done Once

Every dual battery install is scoped, quoted and completed by Nathan. Quality components, correct cable sizing, and tidy wiring throughout.

Second Battery Supply & Install

AGM or lithium options depending on your budget and needs. Sized to your accessory load and how long you camp.

DC-DC Charger

The right way to charge a second battery. A DC-DC charger takes power from your alternator and delivers the correct charge profile for AGM or lithium batteries.

Battery Isolator

Keeps your starter and accessory batteries separate when the engine is off so you never get stuck with a flat main battery.

Anderson Plug

Industry-standard 50A Anderson plug fitted to your vehicle so you can connect a trailer, caravan, or solar panels in seconds.

Fusing & Cable Management

Every circuit fused and tested, every cable run neatly secured. No loose wires, no undersized cables, no shortcuts.

Battery Monitor

Optional but recommended. Lets you see your battery state of charge, voltage, and remaining runtime from a display or app.

Why We Use Victron Energy

Why We Use Victron MPPT Controllers

A simple VSR (voltage-sensitive relay) was fine for old AGM batteries, but modern vehicles with smart alternators and lithium battery setups need something smarter. A DC-DC charger takes the output from your alternator, conditions it, and delivers the correct three-stage charge profile your second battery actually needs.

We fit REDARC BCDC series chargers as our standard recommendation for dual battery installs. REDARC is Australian-designed and built, with a reputation for reliability that serious 4WD owners trust. Their units also accept solar input, so your second battery charges from both the alternator and solar panels simultaneously.

Dual Battery System FAQ

Honest answers to the questions we get asked before every job.

Every dual battery setup is scoped to your vehicle and your actual power needs — there's no one-size-fits-all. Get in touch and we'll assess exactly what you need and give you a straight quote.

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) is the proven, cost-effective choice. A 100Ah AGM gives you around 50Ah of usable power before you risk damaging it by over-discharging. Lithium (LiFePO4) is lighter, more expensive upfront, but delivers around 80–€“100Ah of usable power from a 100Ah battery. Lithium also charges faster and lasts significantly longer. If you're running a serious fridge setup or doing extended off-grid travel, lithium is worth the investment. For occasional weekenders, AGM does the job well.
A DC-DC charger (also called a battery-to-battery charger) takes power from your vehicle's alternator and converts it into the correct charge profile for your second battery. Older vehicles with simple alternators could use a basic VSR (voltage-sensitive relay) to do the same job cheaply, but modern vehicles with smart alternators regulate their voltage in a way that confuses a VSR. A DC-DC charger works with any alternator type and is the correct choice for any lithium battery setup. We fit REDARC BCDC units as standard.
Yes, that's exactly what a dual battery system is designed for. A 12V compressor fridge typically draws 2–€“5A on average, which works out to roughly 30–€“50Ah per day. A 100Ah AGM battery gives you about one to two nights of fridge power before needing a recharge from driving or solar. A 100Ah lithium battery gives you considerably more. We factor in your fridge, lighting, and any other accessories when sizing your system so it works for how you actually camp.
If you tow a caravan or trailer, or you want to connect solar panels directly to your battery when parked, yes. An Anderson plug gives you a reliable, high-current connection point on the outside of your vehicle. It's the industry standard for caravan and 4WD setups, rated to 50A. Most of our dual battery installs include one as standard because the majority of customers end up needing it at some point.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

Nathan installed 2 x 12 volts systems, one in our Motorhome and one in the trailer. Not only is the system fantastic and we never have to worry about our power, but he also fixed faults we had with our old system. The batteries have 7 years warranty, the upgrade to our panels keep the batteries topped up which really helps on cloudy and rainy days. We recommend Nathan to everyone, and he is so easy to deal with.

10/10 for everything! Nathan drove to woop woop to install our bushman fridge, new battery system & fans. Last week in 42 degrees our fridge was lovely and cold and the fans were a godsend! We will use Coast Custom 12 Volt for anything we need in our offgrid set up!
