  1. 700-4
Howdy folks, my family and I finally pulled the trigger on a 2021 700-4 deluxe. We are loving it. My inferno cab heater arrived the other day. I don't plan to add much else, maybe I'll get a nice panel from mystic for a USB charger, perhaps a small LED bar on the brush guard.

My question is should I provision for more down the road with a distribution block and prep for a second battery? I'd like to avoid that if possible but I don't want to screw myself. Is there a tipping over point where scaling electrical capacity is a must and if so, at what point would I need to worry about straining the stock system too much?

Total transparency here, we got this to enjoy the area here in the Poconos without beating on my truck any more. I'm not an avid hunter and while it will come in handy for work around the property, I don't see myself going bonkers with accessories. 90% of the time it will be my family and I simply exploring & camping.

Thanks a ton in advance for any guidance!

allow for extra space in your switch panel because as you ride you will definitely ad more it's the nature of the beast. I f you don't load it to the gills with extra stuff I wouldn't worry about an extra battery but you will know over time if that's the right thing for you. What works for some may not be needed by others. I run one battery..
