New Dakota Lithium Dual Battery Build

Finally got around to upgrading my electrical system. I swapped out my previous solar powered deep cycle battery for a new Dakota Lithium 100AH. This is being powered by a Redarc BCDC 1225D (alternator) and a 100w Renogy solar panel. I also installed a Victron BMV-712 Smart to monitor everything and keep any eye on the battery output.

Inside the GFC I mounted an Auxbeam 6 gang switch panel to control all of my accessories from the panel or through bluetooth. 4 gauge wire was used for the power supply and grounds. Overall, I am super stoked with how the build came out. Everything is working great and constantly topping off the battery.

Nice work. I have the same list of components. They’re all rock solid.

Can you run the AuxBeam without the ACC wire?

I believe you need to have it. I wired it to the dakota lithium accessory so the panel is always backlit
