Alright, my next project is to add a dual-battery setup to run some accessories. I do have an electricians help on this project, because I'm not willing to electrocute myself, or burn through batteries, because I don't know what I'm doing.
But I thought I'd check with you guys who've added a second battery on what I'd need. My friend has all sorts of electrical experience, but not with the Prowler. Which is why I'm asking you all. So here's where I'm at...
There's two things I want to accomplish:
1. Install dual battery (Front storage area)
- a. After reading, it sounds like this is a good product to run the secondary isolated battery https://www.amazon.com/True-UTV-SBI-CK-Dual-Battery-Kit/dp/B00WRG2U58/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
- b. I'll probably use an Odessy AGM battery
2. Install remote battery posts.
Research/Forum Searching:
I'm reviewing as many dual battery threads on here as possible. (https://www.prowlertalk.net/forums/arctic-cat-prowler-electrical-discussions/3580-installed-dual-battery-kit.html#post37995) This thread is good with some pictures. But I wanted to hear if there was anything unique about the Prowler and hooking up a dual battery system that I'm not aware of. Any gotcha's that I can learn from someone who has already done the work?
Accessories I plan to run:
Right now, I have an Arctic Cat Warn 3000# winch running off my only battery. My plan is to switch this over to the isolated battery. And then I'd run (1) 180w led light bar and (2) 18w led light pods. Maybe down the road I'd look into a radio/bluetooth speaker. But for now, it would just be the winch and lighting.
Does anyone have any input? Am I too generic/vague so far with what I want to accomplish? What questions can I answer to help me, help myself?
