Again, if you're looking for 1 of 3, you're going to be disappointed. 2 of 3 can be found
here.
Don't have a lot of time for this, so the basics are:
1. The not so beautiful tray got even uglier when I had to recut and reweld for the Deka brand batteries, which are 3/8" wider at the BOTTOM then the Lifeline, even thought the tops match.
2. Moved and covered all the wiring in my under-cabinet storage
3. Isolated all the battery drains and installed switches:
a. Xantrex panel should be "off" (powersave)
b. Installed a switch in the BlueSky battery monitor
c. Dual switches in the top two fuses, which go to the propane and CO monitors (last photo)
4. I also pulled and tested the starter batteries, purchased in 3/2008- both tested bad and were 100% warranty
5. (not pictured) the Jeep battery also tested bad
6. After it was all done, buttoned up and siliconed the xantrex panel informed me "Battery Temp Sensor not detected". Arrrgh!
