Aux battery
Hi Joe, as long as the control for the isolator is voltage sensitive, the system will be automatic. With an automatic set up, there is no need for any form of time delay and a 9 minute time delay is actually counter productive. The D3/LR3 alternator is well and truly big enough to be able... -

Second Battery Installed in LR4
Thanks for the pictures ndrenfro. I can see a slight lengthening of the two positive cables going to the battery's positive terminal would make the installation a better finish. In right hand drive vehicles, we have the positive terminal at the rear of the battery box but from your... -

Charging batt w/ trickle charger in Cold Weather / also brake light bulbs
You need to test the battery with the motor off and preferably at least 12 hours after the motor was last run. With Calcium/Calcium batteries used in D3s, measuring after 12 hours, any voltage above 12.5 is a near fully charged battery and anything above 12.2v will indicate the battery is... -

Anyone have the Traxide Dual Bat kit?
Hi folks and a Merry Christmas to you all and please forgive me for not visiting this forum for a while. I make the SC40-LR dual battery controllers and while I’m not out to spam the site, I would like to clarify a few quires posted in this thread. The SC40-LR controller has a constant... -

Dead Battery again
Hi Chuck and this may be a bit late but if your still having problems starting. From what you have posted, it sounds more like a possible loose cable connection somewhere. Try all your cables and see if any are loose and give particular attention to your earth cable, which is going to be a... -

Dual battery - Optima - Traxide SC80 - IN!
Hi Folks, thanks schafari and madtownrover for the thumbs up. I’m a Land Rover fan and owner and I try to look after all Land Rover owners but I do go out of my way for the D3/LR3 owners as the wife has one and I occasionally get to drive it but it also allows me to try to supply decent kits... -

technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3
Hi folks, the problems were world-wide not just in NA. The D1 was a big gamble for LR but it paid off big time. The D2 under the ownership of BMW was just a “cash in” that did not work because of the reliability problems, that LR are still paying for. The D3/LR3 is virtually a completely new... -

with or without xenon headlights
Hi ronLR3, I had ordinary headlights in my 03 RR and when my wife got her D3 ( LR3 ), I couldn’t see ( pardon the pun ) what all the fuss was about the Xenon headlights. That is till the first time I drove her D3 in the rain, they are an unbelievable improvement and one of the main features I... -

Is there a "jack mode" for the LR3?
I don’t know if they use different software on US models but if you are on anything but level ground, your LR3 will eventually try to level itself and if this happens while you are placing or removing a jack, you could end up being part of the LR3. Before placing the jack under the LR3, make... -

Awesome off road
Hi yrbender, until you have a more experienced understanding of how all the electronic terrain assistance works, just set the terrain response to the setting that best suits your needs and let the LR3 do it’s own thing. While diesel powered 4x4s are normally better for off road use, some of... -

Hi madtownrover, do you have a manual or an automatic. As to the cable being short, I like to have the cables running between the batteries as short as possible to limit voltage drop BUT was it a tight fit. Cheers -

Dual battery setup...
Hi Houm, you can simply parallel the batteries but if you cranking battery goes flat then your auxiliary will be flattened as well. The idea of installing a dual battery controller is not just to charge the auxiliary battery or to just protect the cranking battery if you flatten the auxiliary... -

Dual battery setup...
Hi toddjb122, with a dual battery set up in the LR3, if you had a flat cranking battery, you only need to use a single positive jumper lead and connect the positive terminals of both batteries to jump start your own vehicle. -

new battery ???????
Hi pascaltissot, the clowns that sold you the battery should have filled the battery before you took it. It’s not uncommon to have flooded wet cell batteries supplied dry because they can be stored virtually indefinitely and can be fill with electrolyte when the battery is needed. Point...- drivesafe

Hi Houm, they do not effect your warranty. The devices were actually made to specs provided by Land Rover Australia’s Maintenance tachs and were tested by them. The kits are all deigned as “ADD ONS” so they do not interfere with your warranty. Cheers -

Dual battery setup...
Hi toddjb122, a simple rule of thumb when setting up your electrics is to put anything that is only going to be powered while your motor is on, should be connected to your cranking battery. EG winch, driving lights and the likes. Anything you want to power with the motor off, like your... -

Dual battery setup...
Hi Boaz, not true, the D3/LR3 alternator is quite capable of charging three batteries at the same time. As to batteries to be fitted in the LR3’s Auxiliary Battery Compartment, if your going to buy one, make sure you have your LR3 with you and make sure the battery not only fits but that the...
