I guess I'm not paying these guys enough to spend 24/7 on the forum to make sure everyone get questions answered.

Usually if the tech questions are asked in the tech forums instead of the drivers club forum they get answered right away.
And thanks to the guys that take the time to help people with questions...

I agree with GarageBuilt on running the accessories of a separate battery.

You have 3 choices

#1. The voltage reducer ....Works off of two batteries in your battery pack causing it to become UN balanced..... Not good for your battery pack !!!!! Keeping your pack balanced will take a lot of work..

#2. The voltage Converter... Works great off the entire battery pack but not big enough to work lights radio winch all at the same time... Before you buy one compare the amp draw from your accessories then compare the amp draw that the converter can handle....

#3 The 12-volt deep cycle extra battery.... Can handle lights radio plus a little more..... For extreme power you can run two extra batteries in parallel.... And can still be charged with one 12-volt charger ....
