Adding an extra battery to Chris's DMax

 Charger is Kings 25A  https://au.adventurekings.com/kings-25a-dcdc-charger.html

This includes:
Regulation control for both a Lithium AND a Lead Acid battery and
A solar MPPT (Maximum Power Point Transfer) charger. and
Operates with either a standard or a smart alternator.

Does the  DMax have a A SMART alternator?
This web site says 'Yes'
This web site says look for a shunt.

FUSES
Kings recommend 50A fuses.


 

 The MPT charger is not required because the Kings 25A has a MPT built in


Shows a shunt which seems to confirm that it is a smart alternator
 



REMOVE GLOVE BOX
Pull in from the middle.  Needs two hands.

 

 

 

 

Remove 4 screws


 

 




I pushed a screwdriver through the grommet.








The corrugated tube is the factory wiring harness.  The black single wire is the CB antenna wire.




This is a plastic nut not a push on pull off thing.


The covers are only held down on the outside. 




I taped the wires to a coat hanger and gently pushed it from the front door area to the back door area.


25mm Hole saw.



Grind off the burrs with a sand paper wheel on a Dremmel



This grommet came from Bunnings but has very little overlap so it pulls out really easily.
