I'm building my duel G3X panel. Received my TCW back-up battery. After unpacking I ended up with two quick questions.

1

The package tells me I need to go to page 5 of the instructions if the battery isn't placed into service by Nov. Hopping it will be in service this time next year not in two weeks. As I read it Page 5 talks about recharging a fully installed battery. Also the instructions talk to storage beyond 3 mo. to charge with a regulated charger @ o.1 amp. no got. Can I temporarily connect pin 2 through a 2 amp breaker to the installed battery/master and ground via pin 3? I think this looks like the trickle charge for the unit.

Install instructions say don't mount under the instrument panel. So where did my fellow RV builders mount the TCW IBBS-12v-4ah?
 
I just mounted mine tonight, behind the instrument panel, towards the firewall against the center rib.
 
I mounted mine behind the G3X MFD. against the sub panel. I put the GADHARS behind the 3rd G3X on the far right side installed on two rails that run from the IP to the sub panel. I will search for photos to post.

As to your question on charging the battery, I have no idea.
 
Dan,

I will be mounting mine later this week. Before I do so, i will charge it just like you said.

As far as installation location is concerned, I think they mean just don't bury it under a bunch of stuff. You will need to replace the battery sometime!

My two!

Thanks

Thanks to all of you. Went ahead an put it on the left stringer behind the bulkhead. Will charge up soon.

Thanks again
