Calcium Deep Cycle Battery Installation on a Toyota LandCruiser
Deep cycle 100 amp hour battery installed for a Toyota LandCruiser under the bonnet
This Toyota LandCruiser had space in the engine bay to install an auxiliary battery system under the bonnet.
The battery used was a Delkor Calcium Deep Cycle 100 amp hour. We recommend calcium batteries under the bonnet due to its ability to handle extreme under the bonnet temperatures without affecting the life span or performance of the battery.
Deep Cycle Battery advantages:
- heavy-duty long-lasting design
- suitable for most vehicles
- no topping up of fluid required
- provide high bursts of power in short periods of time
- resistant to stress from repeated cycling and vibration

To fully enjoy extended off-grid holidays in your 200 Series Landcruiser, you need a combination of reliable power management and essential communication and towing capabilities.
This particular setup features a complex dual battery system that includes a Redarc BCDC charger with built-in solar control, a robust Delkor 100 amp hour deep cycle battery, a powerful 190-watt solar panel mounted to the Rhino roof rack, and a convenient rear Anderson plug for flexible power access.
Has your work fridge ever run flat during a long day on site? You're not alone. This is a common problem for tradies and mobile workers. And we've got a solution that is ideal under the Australian climate.
By installing solar panels on the rear toolbox of your work vehicle, and integrating them directly into the BCDC solar input circuit, we create a seamless power management system.
This means your ute battery gets exactly the charge it needs, and your portable fridge stays running reliably all day.
If you're driving a 300 Series Landcruiser and need reliable communication on your outback adventures, here's a practical UHF radio installation: GME XRS UHF two-way radio, paired with a Toyota-specific bonnet antenna mounting bracket.
When it comes to reliable communication in your 4WD, GME's XRS platform leads the pack. We recently completed a clean installation of the GME XRS UHF two-way radio for Ineos Grenadier, adding premium communication capabilities to this already impressive vehicle.
Have you ever been driving in the outback wishing you had crystal clear communication? That's exactly what we set out to solve for a Ford Everest missing a bull bar for traditional antenna mounting. We installed an 80-channel UHF radio system using a vehicle-specific left-hand bonnet hinge mounting bracket. It's a clean, practical solution that looks like it came straight from the factory floor.
