This Video is a walkthrough of my homemade battery box. It runs our Waeco CFX65L for around 3 days off the battery box alone and indefinitely when connected to solar.
1x 120AH AGM Deep cycle battery
1x Thunder 20 A DC/DC Charger (highly recommend! good value for money and a great alternative to ctek and redarc units)
1x Dual USB charging ports
3x Ciga sockets for powering the waeco and camp lights
1x volt meter and push button switch to turn on and off.
2x Grey Anderson 50A Plugs (output but can also be used as input if using a regulated panel)
1x Red Anderson 50A Plug for unregulated solar input
note that red anderson plugs will only fit red, this prevents someone from connecting the solar to the wrong plug.
The box itself is made from 12mm structural ply and covered with marine ply for looks.
we are very happy with the Thunder 20A DC to DC Charger and could not recommend it enough. I have used both Redarc and CTEK units in the past and these are definitely better value for money.
Disclaimer: I am not an auto electrician but am more than happy to assist anyone trying to replicate this battery box, if there is enough interest in a more detailed video explaining all the components I will upload a second video.
