To help our customer get ready for the next camping trip, an auxiliary battery system was installed and wired for this earlier model Toyota Prado.

The auxiliary battery runs power to three sockets in the rear of the vehicle. This allows a fridge or a

freezer to be constantly on. An extra power socket is used for connecting power to the external camping lights.

We've also installed a dual USB charging socket, ideal for charging devices such as smart phones and tablets.

A Redarc smart solenoid is fitted under the bonnet to protect the starting battery and preventing it going flat when power is being used from the auxiliary battery.

When the vehicle is driving, the solenoid will activate to charge the auxiliary battery.

How a dual battery system can bring value to your off-road or camping trip:

power a 12V portable fridge or freezer
charge your devices / gadgets / tools (phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, coffee machines or cordless drills)
travel to remote locations knowing you have back-up power
be self-sufficient with 12V power while camping

Get Ready For The Next Generation of Auto Air Conditioning Refrigerant - Now Available at Automotive Electrical Designs

16 Jan, 2023

After years of intensive research by the automotive industry, a new standard refrigerant for late model vehicles has been developed - R1234yf (OpteonTM YF). R1234yf has been chosen as the more environmentally safe solution with an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0.0 and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 4. That is 335 times less than that of R134a! Automotive Electrical Designs can supply and install the new R1234yf air con gas to your vehicle in our service centre.
