So, do you need a dual battery tray?
If you're heading off-road for a 4x4 camping trip then you need auxiliary power. A dual battery system - two separate batteries working in conjunction with each other but for different purposes - will ensure your vehicle has start-up power and that your campsite equipment has consistent power.
Know what dual battery set-up you need, then get the right dual battery tray.
You need an auxiliary battery if at any point you'll need to run things like a fridge, lights and other camp accessories overnight, otherwise you'll run the risk of running out of power and you won't be able to start your vehicle in the morning.
What is a dual battery how does it work?
A dual battery is basically a battery set-up involving a second battery which is fitted in addition to your vehicle's original factory-fitted battery. The auxiliary battery is usually fitted in a dedicated area on a purpose-built dual battery tray, located in the engine bay or the cabin (or in the ute tray).
The purpose of the extra battery supply is to ensure the site you choose to camp gets consistent power on tap while not draining your main battery used to start your vehicle. Because let's face it, keeping your food and drink fresh and cold is a crucial ingredient of any great off road trip.
