We are looking to put a second battery in our car to run a fridge, lights, etc... We have looked at the pirannah, ARB and other systems and they range in price from $650 - $1,050 (being a little more expensive because we have a hilux and have to put the battery in the tray). Several people we have spoken to, including auto electricians and 4wders have suggested that we just use a solenoid and save a lot of money. Others have suggested an isolating switch, however this carries a risk because of the need to remember to turn the switch. Can anyone advise as to any reasons why we should not simply use a solenoid and/or explain to me why we should invest hundreds of dollars more to get one of the more expensive systems. Are there problems with these more expensive systems or are they generally pretty good? Your personal experiences would be much appreciated.
