Batteries
Arguably the most important component of any electrical system is the primary power source or battery. To ensure that you have trouble free reliability you must start with superior batteries and then superior accessories and wiring for your system. Knowing what battery you need starts with knowing what your draw on the battery is going to be, so first work this out or ask us to do it for you.
12 Volt Powerhouse stock an extensive range of batteries to suit all popular automotive vehicles as well as some of the more difficult to track down specialised batteries.
Dual Battery Systems
A dual battery system is recommended when needing to run power hungry appliances or accessories, such as an inverter, winch or fridge. Dual Battery Systems allow accessories to run from an auxiliary battery that is independent of the starting battery, but is charged while the engine is running. This ensures that there is always enough power in your main battery to start your vehicle.
To ensure that the secondary battery is fully charge you will need to use a dual battery isolator solenoid like a Redarc Smart Start. This will also prevent a low charge in the secondary battery draining the main battery. Do it right and you will never have a flat battery again! |

Battery Chargers
Batteries come in many sizes to suit a wide range of applications. This means there are different battery chargers to suit different types of batteries.
It is therefore important when selecting a battery charger to ensure that you purchase one that will charge your battery as the manufacturer intended. If you do not charge a battery correctly you can damage it beyond repair and even void any warranty that may be in place, not to mention the grief it will give you when you are trying to operate your system and appliances. |
