Camels on mine...

Installed a lithium battery, the Redarc Bcdc alpha 50 on the more 4x4 brackets.

The brackets are great, works super well. I still have to install my positive bus bar with fuses (delayed in mail) but otherwise it's done.

That looks great. I have been trying to order the MORE4x4 brackets for 3 months so far, and the guys in AUS say they are too busy. When did you order yours?

I ordered mine in late August or early September.
My friend who lives in Melbourne ordered them to his address and whe I came to Melbourne in late September I picked it up from him and carried it home.
no word on shortages then.

The quality of that plate is outstanding. The curved piece in the rear replaced a plastic cable holder piece that Ineos comes with. And if you decide to go for the Garmin power switch to control circuits then I think this rear part would be Ideal to mount that to.

I drilled two holes and added a negative bus bar in front of the led's on the redarc to make wiring easy. This way all wires positive and negative goes to where the fuses for the second battery is located. Cleaner accessory wiring.

Also for chassis ground for the redarc, second battery and busbar: Even if you don't have a second battery Ineos has a stud with a nut for a negative chassis ground for the second battery where you install the second battery which makes it super easy to wire in the negative polarity with a nice short wire.

if you look at dr rocks guide page 14 you'll find the pre fuse box interior.

I took power to the redarc from fuse position 4 the fuse for the stock inverter. I don't have the inverter but it had a 60A fuse mounted on it. And that fuse is always on + Dr roks guide indicate it's wired directly to the starter battery. Redarc can't use more than 50A so that seemed like a great way to tie the redarc to the starter battery. It's close to the redarc so it lets me have a short cable run.

To remove any downstream confusion I put a dymo label behind clear shrink wrap and labeled that to the positive wire that I connected to the pre fuse box wire. I also installed all secondary battery wiring inside abrasive sheathing so it would be obvious what is stock and what is aftermarket.

The battery bracket is perfect for a group 27 size battery. I found a deal on something called powerqueen battery that can be found on Amazon. Only a bit over $100 for a 125Ah battery with built-in Bluetooth BMS. I think it's back to being closer to $200. I can fit a $325aH battery in there if I trimmed the plastic kick plate but I didn't want to do that. This should be good for me for now.

I put some dynomat on between the bracket and the battery to make sure it wouldn't rattle or move.

I installed a 60A fuse on the battery. I may change that to a 100A fuse later but for now I think 60A is going to do all I want the battery to do for me.

I found the right fuses for the bracket. Getting them on Tuesday. I'll update the post then with where to find those.
