Hi all,
I have reviewed a looot of dual battery set-up posts on this forum (thank you all!) - and was super confused until I finally understood that the engine of my 2005 4Runner SR5, bought in Chile, was actually slightly different from those of its US counterparts - making most common set-ups impossible with a decent-sized battery. :dammit:
Sooo I am here for advice... My two options are basically:
1) set-up a small second battery (40Amh) without any mods to the engine
2) do some mods (potentially moving/changing the tube where the air enters... sorry English isn't my first language
eace
to be able to fit a larger battery - potentially 70Amh, like the starter battery.
We will be 2 people living full-time in the car, we don't plan to have huge needs (no blenders, air dryers etc.) but we will use inside and outside lights (c.70W altogether), charge phones/PCs, and occasionally run a cooler when camping several days at the same location.
I don't have a huge budget so looking for the cheapest safe option, which also wouldn't require using US parts (we are based in Chile)
Any ideas / recommendations?
Many thanks!
Celine
