- Today I'm going to show you one of the BEST locations to mount a lithium battery in your cab for a fridge, lighting, and accessories in your Tacoma! This is a perfect spot to mount everything and hook it up to solar from your roof rack.
Thanks for watching!

I’m doing this set up this week. With a smaller battery but I will document my results and shout out.
Def ground to the battery man .
Great video!!! Just what I was looking for!!
I did a setup like this with a Dc to Dc charger to 2 100AH Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, it works so well.
Did you also manage to fit both batteries behind the drivers rear seat? If so, I need to do this.
I did yes. I did have to take out the plastic cubby behind the seat, but I added sound deadening and built a small platform that screwed into the existing holes.
Nice install!
Thank you!
Any difference s if you run the cables from the controller (output) straight to the battery not to the fuse block?
nice video...what kind of battery is that? Do you have the link for that battery?
Great video! I seen you had some dimensions for possible battery sizes, 13x6wx9h. Do you think a 7” wide battery will fit?
Great tutorial! Im thinking of going this route for a dometic cfx35 cooler. My question is Can i dual charge the battery while the truck is running so it also charges off the alternator?
Yes but you'll need to add in a DC to DC charger.
Loved the video. How did your seat fit back over the battery? Did you leave the rear trim peace on or take it off?
I keep the rear plastic covering off, i find it just wasted space I could use otherwise.
Thinking of getting the Renogy MPPT controller to set up some solar on my taco. How’s it been running for you so far?
I've had 0 issues in nearly 2 years, I don't think the battery has ever dipped below 70% to be honest.
@@javilee98 nice! Sounds good man thank you for the video and info!
Thank you!
So you are able to use your seat still while it's working? And do you need air to keep it from getting warm or hot?
I've not had any issues and I leave the seat in its regular position
I've been thinking about doing this in my truck for awhile! I have the battery sitting in the bed at the moment behind the fridge. Where did you connect your truck ground to on the chassis?
Are you referring to where I grounded the battery?
@@javilee98 Yeah not sure why I said truck ground lol. Meant the battery ground my bad.
@@wanderingoglethorpe At 4:02 is where I ground the fuse block and I ground the battery to the fuse block. So it's all grounded to the truck :)
How long can you run it on a cloudy day or at night? Also, what battery did you use?
I'm using a 85AH lithium battery I got from AliExpress forever ago but they're much cheaper on Amazon nowadays. My fridge uses roughly 30AH over 24 hours in my testing so nearly 3 straight days without a recharge.
@@javilee98 wow, that is really good. I think I will go the same route as you! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
how can I reach you? I have questions about the build
You can just ask them all here and I'll do my best to answer. That way if anyone else has the same questions it'll hopefully be answered.
