twin battery conversion

Postby stu0500 » Wed Mar 17, 2010 6:33 pm

Hi all i run quite a lot of items from the van, i have a 3000 amp invertor and sevral other items which i run, Im wondering if anybody else has or does run two batteries on there mk6 transit. I am thinking of locating the new battery under the pass seat. any pictures would be great. Ive just bought a 900 amp bosch unit.

Hope you mean 3000 watts, 3000 amp cable would be thick as my wrist :lol:
Ive not done one to a MK6, but it should be easy enough, just make sure you shield the cable between them, against damage
