Did you just put double sided tape on your fuse block and keep it on the battery? I’m trying to figure out where I should put mine but haven’t came up with where yet.

Yes sir,
That's exactly what I mounted my fuse box with, 3m red. It wont come off unless you pry it off.

Anyone know what the difference is between the PC 925 and PC 925L. Is the "L" version a lithium version? Its the same price but i dont see anywhere in any description of what the differences would be. I can find the 925L but cannot find a 925 anywhere in Canada at the moment
I believe the terminals (+/-) are swapped on the "L" version.
Ok, my question as only having my 1000-5 for a month. Will installing all this custom wiring void my warranty? I know the plug and play stuff does not(dealer told me that when I bought it). Never knew about all the wiring of double batteries and stuff till joining site.
What batteries are you using? I the middle of putting together my parts for dual battery kit.

I run 2 lithium batteries. (same type)They took the spot where the one lead acid was that came with the rig. I had to grind off about 1/16 of an inch off the ridge of plastic (not important, non-structural). Have not had any issues, but I do run a maintainer charger in the winter every couple of months for a few days. It also charges up the RV batteries, so I am ready to go on good weather trips to rockhound and explore ghost towns.

I got this battery from work. It is used as a backup power source for a heart-lung machine used in cardiac surgery. It is rated 12V/28Ah so I see no reason why it wouldn't work in our buggies. Fitment test = Pass ✅. Now I just need to figure out a method of securing inside the compartment.
Short answer, no. Batteries connected in parallel (with no isolator etc.) should be of the same type, age, and ideally, size. The internal resistance of Pb (lead acid) batteries is higher than that of lithium batteries. The Li full charge voltage is higher than Pb as well, as is the voltage throughout the discharge curve (Pb voltage starts down almost immediately under load, while the Li maintains voltage much better, dropping off sharply at full discharge.
Thanks for the info. I ended up going with the True dual lithium isolator kit and the Antigravity ATX-12 lithium battery as my my auxiliary battery.

I read the specs and that setup should work fine - so long as you replacing your OEM (lead acid) battery with a lithium battery. It's designed to work only with two lithium batteries.
True website says that at least one battery needs to be lithium.

I stand corrected! Though their website is a bit ambiguous in that regard, saying both, "Lithium Only" and "For use in UTVs where at least one battery is lithium".True website says that at least one battery needs to be lithium.

Agree. I went back and forth on buying an additional lithium for the house battery out of caution. In the end I decided that I would keep a close eye on my voltmeter to see if I get any strange readings. If anything out of the ordinary happens, I’ll post it for others to see

so i've been spending a lot of time reading up on this. my battery is finally starting to show its age, and id like to get it swapped into a dual battery setup before winter, and plowing.
with that in mind, it seems possible that i could potentially have 2 different batteries setup in dual mode, and these batteries can even be non matching if I have an isolator wired in.
looks like I need some AGM batteries, probably smart to match them for now, and a kit like this

alternatively, i could try to squeeze another season out of my current battery, offloading all accessories to the extra/new battery.
anything i've missed, or anything I should keep in mind?

i suppose my last concern is that i need a battery that performs well in the cold, where winter can be around zero degrees F. if there is a better battery for this, please let me know
