12V Battery Monitor Install

With the Adventure Kings 12V Battery Monitor (*PATENT APPLIED FOR) you can easily keep an eye on and control the power coming in and out of your auxiliary battery. Designed, engineered and rigorously tested by IntelliQuip Solutions; the same Aussie engineering team that developed the Adventure Kings DC-DC chargers, this is a smart bit of kit that is easy to install and instantly takes your 12V system to the next level.

PARTS REQUIRED	Adventure Kings Battery Monitor
TOOLS REQUIRED	Drill, screwdriver, heat gun or lighter
MATERIALS REQUIRED	Heat-shrink tubing, wiring terminals, positive cable, screws, binding post.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

STEP 1

Firstly, in this video we have disconnected the positive from the auxiliary battery to the DC/DC Charger, as well as the 12V Control Box.

STEP 2

Now, connect the YELLOW wire to the positive output cable of your DC/DC Charger. You could also connect to your dual battery system or solar regulator. In this case we have used a binding post to connect the wires.

STEP 3

Then, securely attach all positive cables of the 12V loads (powered devices such as fridges, 12V accessory panel, USB chargers) to the GREEN cable. In this case, we have connected the green cable to one of the internal binding posts of the 12V Control Box as it’s already connected to all of the positive leads on the box. *NOTE: Inverters should be connected directly to the battery (with a fuse or circuit breaker) and not through the Battery Monitor as they have their own internal cut-off.

STEP 4

Ensure all of the negative cables of your 12V loads (powered devices) are connected to the negative terminal of your auxiliary battery. For our example, the negative cable can connect to the binding post of the 12V Control Box and all the negatives will be earthed.

STEP 5

Next connect the thin BLACK cable to the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery. In this case, we have connected it to the busbar in the 12V Control Box.

STEP 6

Connect the RED cable onto the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery. You may need to extend this cable. In this video we have connected the cable to the binding post in the 12V Control Box, and used an additional cable to connect from that to the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery.

STEP 7

Then, mount your battery monitor to the desired location and you are complete!
