The one thing I dont like about the genesis is how it charges batteries the same when the batteries have a different charge. So the whole point of their system is to be able to use and drain the second battery while camping with the main battery being unlinked. Well...once you start the engine, and the batteries link, then the smart alternator is going to charge both batteries at the same rate. We all know how problematic that is for long term stuff. But it is the cleanest system I have seen on the market so far and it is a pretty quality build.Frankly, IF I were to do such a thing, I'd stick with Genesis. Tried and proven and a lot of users here who can help support it. It comes with the tray to fit the Jeep and replace t
Now this is awesome!! It looks like you used the genesis tray, and then made your own top plate. I like the integration of the DC/DC. I wonder if I can make a plate like you did but integrate it with the genesis one to mount the switch pros and the breakers. Or maybe the switch pros can go on the cowl right above the factory fuse box lid...... The Gen3 system does have buss bars, but I still want solenoids to shut off power to winches so the wires aren't always activated.I don't have the Genesis but I have a similar style setup that I bet takes up around the same amount of space. I thought that the new Gen 3 system already had "extra" terminals for winch, lights etc? Maybe you don't need that space? I was able to mount up a Blue Sea positive 4 slot bus bar at the front of my lid for accessories.
My SwitchPros is mounted on the driver side using a Power Trays alloy bracket. (currently V6 GAS option only)
This is a great idea. I'm not sure if I want to relocate the switch pros over to the passenger side because it would require I entirely re-do a bunch of wiring. In hindsight I probably should have put it on the passenger side in the first place.
