Auxiliary Battery System with Solar Charge Input for a Series 200 LandCruiser

Getting camping-ready with an auxiliary battery system, portable solar panel for battery charging and a GME XRS two-way radio

Getting ready for the next camping or off-road trip, our technicians fitted this late model 200 series LandCruiser with an auxiliary dual battery system and a GME XRS two way radio.


A Redarc BCDC (DC to DC) charger was also installed to separate the axillary electrical system from the start battery.


The Redarc charger also features a solar charge input allowing sufficient charge from a portable solar panel when connected via an Anderson plug while the vehicle is parked in a camp site.


The charging status of the auxiliary battery is monitored via a Matson Bluetooth smart phone app.

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 and tools (phones, tablets, laptops, cameras or cordless drills)
  • travel to remote locations knowing you have back-up power
  • be self-sufficient with 12V power while camping
