Watch This BEFORE You Wire Your Dual Battery Setup! | The Road Chose Me

In this video from The Road Chose Me, I dive deep into the crucial aspects of setting up a dual battery system for your overlanding or off-road vehicle. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or just starting out, understanding the wiring process is essential for ensuring your setup is reliable and safe. I cover everything from choosing the right components to common mistakes you need to avoid. Before you wire your dual battery system, watch this to get expert tips, clear diagrams, and practical advice that will save you time, money, and potential headaches on the road.
Learn how to install a state of the art Renogy DC/DC & MPPT Solar Charge Controller, a Renogy 200Ah Lithium Smart Battery, a Renogy 3000w Inverter, a Renogy Core One display and a big fuse block that all my accessories are connected to.
