P1000 Why do I need a second battery?

[TxDoc]

Does anyone know what our stator output and capacities might be?

And, how charging larger batteries may affect stator life or reliability?
Thanks

I created a video with a detailed explanation of why the 2nd battery and tips on how to wire it up in another thread here on the forum.

P1000 - Yet Another Pioneer 1000 Dual Battery Install - video

Greetings all - this is my first post - from West Chester, PA. Just joined a few weeks ago. Love seeing everyone and reading all of the great community knowledge! Just got our 2020 P1K-5 used with only 34 miles on it! The first thing I wanted to do was add the dual battery system for...

Honda Pioneers. are great machines. We all can agree on that. Hondas were designed to maybe add a couple factory accessories- thats it. I have limited expierence with a 1k-5 ss mine is new still waiting on build completion. However I am around them owned by others and I presently have a Rincon as well. My Rincon has lights the usual stuff. Lots of leople I know with various Honda priducts share a general opinion that 1 battery is designed to run the stock electrical items period
Lots of the club guys have a second battey in various locations even on single paaenger rigs The folks at Honda are not exactly add on accessory friendly with their designs. Howerer they do give you a battery ready location for an auxilary assiming u are speaking about a 1k. That should tell you something. The DCT setup is definitely dependent on adequate voltage. Going out into the backwoods in a sxs equipped with with electrical add ons with one battery us like going to a sketchy ATM machine at 3:00AM witi no pistol
Not a good idea. Dont do it. Spending hours or even the night broke down in west BFE aint no fun. Ask me how I know. Buy the second battery with the true isolator

It’s more to protect the main electrical system than any thing else.

My second batt system is setup for key on only. My source of tunes is a Bluetooth bottle speaker and my phone.

my isolator protects the main battery from overdrawing and causing the funny electrical gremlins that pop up when the voltage drops.

Thanks for sharing the BT Speaker Option; I have a JBL Charge 3 and want to strap it ti the ROPS above the from seat. Have you found a secure way to mount?

Rob, I cant tell ou how much I appreciate your engineering perspective and willingness to mentor relating to this install. I still have many several questions pertaining mainly to the rocker switches ( mine are OTRATTW with double LED's). DO you mind if I send emai' vis this website??

Have you located the dashboard and gauge circuit. I've heard the power to the ELD's in the Switches need to be on that circuit

The Only kink in the Honda pioneer armor is that the DCT transmission requires a constant level of power. If you plan on adding accessories required power to your pioneer would stronger recommend adding second battery. An example of why. if you were to get stuck in mud and winching yourself out you could cause transmission damage from power drain. it is an easy process and a protective one.

I would be happy to assist in any way I can. Feel free to send direct message via this site. I am not an expert mind you - just someone who tries to figure things out and live to tell about it - lol

aw shucks - thank you! A small payback for all the great info I have learned from you guys!

I'm not sure why there would be any requirement for the switch LED's to be on a specific "dashboard and gauge" circuit. Getting the switch LEDs to light via the accessory circuit would seem perfectly reasonable to me. They are very low current draw. Maybe I am missing something...
