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

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.
