Dual Battery Over-Ride Switch Installation
How a dual battery over ride switch can help with an unexpected flat battery
A dual battery system over ride switch is used as a jump starter from the auxiliary battery to the main starting battery.
If the main starting battery has failed or has been discharged, the switch can be pressed to link the auxiliary battery to the main battery providing power to start the vehicle acting as a jump start.
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 / gadgets / tools (phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, coffee machines or cordless drills)
- travel to remote locations knowing you have back-up power
- be self-sufficient with 12V power while camping
- Provide lighting to your camp site

This setup is ideal for anyone planning extended camping trips or venturing to remote locations in their LandCruiser. It offers peace of mind with dependable power for your essentials. Your main battery will be safe from draining, with solar charging capability. Your portable fridge and devices can be charged on the go with multiple power sockets installed at the rear of the 300 Series.
This new 300 Series LandCruiser improved its performance with the addition of an electric brake controller. You may already be confident with towing your load (whether it's work equipment, a caravan or a trailer). But there are added benefits to installing a high-performing electric brake controller, such as precise control over braking, smooth, responsive brake operation, and adjustable braking preferences. They can make your task easier and safer.
For optimum results, we installed the Redarc Tow Pro Elite electric brake controller—our preferred towing solution for work or leisure.
This Hilux 4WD fit-out ticks all the boxes in terms of providing reliable power, clear communication on the road, safe towing, and the ability to handle extended trips with a caravan.

For hassle-free extended camping trips or weekend getaways, check out this LandCruiser fit-out. A simple, clean, and effective power setup for towing a new Jayco caravan. It will help your caravan's systems stay powered on the road, your portable fridge keeps running while you drive, and everything connects with a simple plug-in (no messy wiring or multiple connections).
