I would really like to see how you tracked your wires from the engine bay through to the leisure battery. I can't work out how to do it without taking the whole dash off!
Great job ! How old is your caddy ? Does it have a smart alternator? I'm just starting the conversion of a 2015 caddy maxi with blue motion technology and I'm not sure a Split Charge relay would work :/
Hey there, really good videos on your Caddy project!!! I am currently converting the same year Caddy too, I know you mentioned that you won't show the wiring of the battery into the engine bay on the video - However, how did you manage to route it? Through the glove compartment/handbrake cover? Is there an entrance through the bulkhead? Many thanks,
Hi, it's very easy. Take the battery off and you will see a rubber grommet right behind it , run the cable trought there then it comes out by the passengers foot well, then you run it however you want I have mind on the side by the passenger's door. Hope that helps

you can just take the rubber flooring down by the passangers feet(under the glovebox)
Did you store the leisure battery under the passenger seat?
It was stored, behind the passenger seat yes :)
I think first fuse should be as close as possible to starter battery and switch after that, but I might be wrong :)
From memory, i think you are right. But we never had issues with that set up.

i dont think split charge works with smart alternator
What amperage fuse did you put in between the batteries
It's 125amp fuse, and the cable is rated for 140amp. It all came together in a 5mtr kit we got from eBay
Do you have the eBay link mate. Cheers
Do you have a link for the kit. Iv seen similar ones on ebay but id like the on off switch
Links are in the description below the video. :)
Hi!
What is the maximum current measured?
Thank you.
I am not sure what do you mean?
@@daniandjoanna The leisure battery charge current(maxium) from the alternator
@@ChensChen I'm sorry, haven't measured it. So, no idea really
@@daniandjoanna OK, thank you. My 2nd battery (80AH) charging current is around 10~20 A per hour.
