Alright, folks, you asked for it, and we made it happen!
We are thrilled to unveil our latest DIY Dual Battery Kit: 79 Series LandCruiser 200Ah Behind-Seat DIY Kit.
This powerhouse setup features the cutting-edge 200Ah Super Slim lithium battery from Invicta, paired with your choice of the ultra-reliable REDARC DC2DC charger and a array of outlets to meet all your power needs.
Imagine this: a seamless dual battery system tucked neatly behind the seat of your Dual Cab Toyota '79 series, utilising what was once wasted space. We've fabricated a custom tray to securely mount the 200Ah lithium battery and all the essential components, and it comes preassembled for your convenience. Just mount the tray to your truck, utilising as many factory holes as possible to minimise drilling, and enjoy a rock-solid installation that stays put no matter the terrain.
But that's not all! The beauty of this custom tray lies in its functionality. It includes a six-way fuse box, a REDARC DC2DC charger, and plug-and-play outlets. With blue plugs for vehicle input, red plugs for solar input, and grey Anderson plugs for 12-volt power out, you can easily connect to your canopy or one of our socket boxes, which can also be included in the kit.
The 200Ah Super Slim Invicta Lithium Battery takes things to a whole new level with Bluetooth monitoring, allowing you to keep an eye on your battery status right from your phone. The battery itself features a display that shows percentage, voltage, and current usage at the touch of a button.

Why You'll Love It:
1. The Battery:
200Ah Invicta Super Slim Lithium Battery
The Invicta Lithium Super Slim battery is a slimline lithium battery designed to be Invicta’s slimmest battery ever. As vehicle manufacturers continue to push internal design limits on their vehicles, the traditional lithium battery is becoming increasingly difficult to fit in increasingly reduced available space.
The Invicta Lithium Super Slim battery was designed to combat this issue by using a 58mm wide frame, perfect for slipping behind the back seat or anywhere that might be a tight space. Its metal case also ensures it can handle any knocks or bumps when squeezed in a tight space. And all this without sacrificing any performance thanks to its prismatic cell construction.
With bluetooth monitoring and a massive 5 year warranty, the Invicta 200Ah Super Slime Lithium Batteries are a stand out from the rest.
2. The DC Charger
Proven and Tested
The award-winning technology in the BCDC has been independently verified and tested to ensure battery life is maximised, charging your battery to a proven 100%.*
Built in Australia and tested for our unique conditions, the DC to DC battery charger will work in the extreme heat of the Simpson Desert, up to 80°C and can handle deep water crossings at Cape York – water, dust and vibration are no match for this charger.
If you’re heading out into the bush and want to get there and back again safely – you can trust REDARC.

3. The Tray
Custom Fabricated Tray and Rock-Solid Installation
To make installation a breeze, we’ve fabricated a custom tray to mount the 200Ah Super Slim Lithium Battery and all the essential components. This tray comes preassembled, so all you need to do is mount it to your truck. We’ve even used as many factory holes as possible to minimise drilling.
The tray attaches securely to the floor and utilises factory holes along the top to ensure everything stays put. This rock-solid installation means you can drive confidently, knowing your battery system is secure.
4. The pre terminated EVERYTHING
Comprehensive and Convenient
The custom tray allows us to mount a six-way fuse box and the REDARC BCDC charger. We’ve included blue plugs for vehicle input, red plugs for solar input, and two grey Anderson plugs for 12-volt power out. This setup makes it easy to connect to your canopy or one of our socket boxes, which is also be included in the kit.
This kit comes to you pre terminated wiht all your cabling and fusing for a seamless install.
