4WD’s are known for their offroad ability but what is better is that their capability allows you to access some beautiful, remote, seldom seen and peaceful locations across the country. But setting up for longer distance trips includes much more than just packing snacks and filling up with fuel. Practical issues such as long-term setups need to be considered. A campsite doesn’t set itself up, and by adding into your setup solutions for providing power, shelter, lighting, warmth and bedding!

4WD Supacentre have set up a large range of accessories to help 4WDers set up their vehicles ready for longer trips away, off the grid with next to no maintenance for nearly limitless self support.

Starting with their full range of easy to DIY 12v accessories, starting with the newly released Adventure Kings 25 Amp DC-DC charger with Solar input, which offers a simple to install self-managing dual battery system that will charge up your auxiliary battery setup without even thinking about it! The Adventure Kings DC-DC setup uses similar technology to what is found inside many top end DC-DC chargers and can maintain and monitor your vehicle starter battery, as well as adding the ability to isolate your batteries from one another when you are parked up, if you choose to connect up a 12 volt solar panel setup you will have essentially limitless power wherever you are!

The benefit to the Adventure Kings 25Amp DC-DC charger is its integrated Solar, which presents itself as absolutely invaluable, the DC-DC charging functions maintain battery health but the integrated MPPT Solar regulator can manage solar power input to ensure both your house battery and crank battery are topped up and charging to their maximum potential. MPPT solar regulators are around 30% more efficient than comparably rated units available in PWM regulation which means it will charge quicker and regulate solar power into adequate charging potential for all of your batteries.

Hooking up a DC-DC charger is pretty simple and really only involves some simple planning before hand to ensure you have a good outcome. Starting with running heavy duty cable to the rear of your vehicle it is important to choose a cable that is more than capable of carrying the required current (25-30 amps at full voltage) considering the length of the cable you will need to run to the location of your second battery.  Generally placing your AGM battery in the rear of a vehicle is ideal for keeping the fridge cranking, the camp lighting burning bright and the phones and other USB accessories fully charged this is because it is away from the heat of the engine bay and doesn’t suffer the issue of voltage loss to your accessories.

The addition of an Adventure Kings Battery Box which can take up to our 115Ah battery  will ensure the battery is secured and easy to operate with plenty of sockets for whatever flavor plugs your accessories require! But if you are looking to set up a serious power bank setup and need a place to mount and organise all of your accessories then your 12v setup seriously requires one of the latest release Adventure Kings 12V Control boxes for absolute control for all of your 12v accessories.

The extremely useful and easy to operate 12V Control Box has 5x 16A prewired and fused switches, with 3x cig sockets, and 2 USB charging ports, with the inclusion of an easy to read digital voltmeter to check the input voltage for all of your accessories. Being fused and having plenty of open space on the front face for additional power accessories like the Adventure Kings 1500W Inverter for plenty of 240v power whenever you are in the bush and need to operate comfort appliances that operate on 240V wall power.

With plenty of room to fasten additional electrical accessories setting up your 12v system has never been easier.
