DIY Anderson Plug Kit - Redarc SBI12 Isolator - Camper or Caravan Charging Full Installation 

Ha. no worries mate, glad they videos are helping.

Glad it was helpful mate 👍

No worries, thanks for the feedback

Hey mate, Glad the videos have been helpful. Most dcdc chargers have a built isolator so if your does then yer standard Anderson no isolator straight from the main battery.

@@AussieDrifterTouring, thanks for the video. Great explanation. May I just clarify? If the DCDC charger in the caravan has an isolator inbuilt, it will stop the charge draw as soon as the car ignition is off even though the alternator wire (of the DCDC charge in the caravan) is NOT connected. Correct?

@@atgraceonyoutube8769 correct and that method works fine on all standard or temperature compensating alternators but it doesn't work so well on variable voltage (smart) alternators as the dcdc charger will cut out while driving when the voltage drops below 12.6v.

@@AussieDrifterTouring , Thanks. I have exactly this - A smart alternator in my car. So, looking for the best solution to connect to the DCDC in the caravan (via Anderson). Also, just to be safe, in case something else is connected to the Anderson at the back of the car so as not to drain the battery, I was thinking of installing the battery isolator suitable for the smart alternator.

@@atgraceonyoutube8769 Yer that would be a good idea, glad it was helpful

The depends on the car but a Toyota like this one has electrical harness running the length of the car inside the chassis rail so you can just follow those.

Yer mate that will be fine

hi mate, Yer that's correct you would want to run that from the main battery and you would want to go for the 4B&S cable size if your running the 40 amp charger.

Hi Mate, not sure exactly what your referring to sorry but happy to chat about it if you want to give me a call my number is 0413970616. thanks Kurt

Hi Peter, Yer you can put an isolator on and we have kits that include an isolator. Whether it's needed or not really depends on what it's running in the camper. This video explaines it furter ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cMlATrUyvtA.html

Hi Paul. Best to run the anderson off the main battery in your case mate

Hi mate, its right on the verge of needing to upgrade due to the length. you could go the 4 b&s to future proof it a bit but plenty of our customers are using the 6b&s fine with the bms system. You shouldn't need an isolator mate as the bms has an inbuilt isolator. Your car should have a fixed voltage alternator but here is a link to a video that shows an bay way to tell ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pOs7p-InF2o.html

Hi, I have a 2020 ranger. What anderson plug kit do you recommend. Powering a enerdrive 40a DC-DC charger in van Cheers .

Your choice of anderson has a lot to do with how the camper is setup. Check out this video it might help explain some things mate ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cMlATrUyvtA.html

Hi max, yer you could use it to run a portable dual battery kit.

Nothing to do with the anderson kit. It’s just another accessory we took off to make this video of the anderson kit.

Hi mate. the battery terminal is a good option but there is no harm going to the chassis as well and that may be the best option on a car with a variable voltage alternator as the negative must be connected body side of that module. With a standard alternator car though the negative terminal would be the best option if there is room.

@@AussieDrifterTouring thanks for the info. I have a Prado 150 and noticed the elecs haven’t sent any of the negatives back to the battery. Previously I always went back to the battery but figured it was a smart alternator thing.
