Volvo XC70 Dual Battery Setup | Overland Rig Build

Описание: Installing a Vevor 140A split charge relay in my Volvo XC70 to create a dual battery system for off-grid adventures.
Complete walkthrough of wiring, fuses, grounding, and function checks — ideal for overlanding, soft-roading, or camper conversions. Budget-friendly, reliable, and perfect for powering lights, fridges, or gear at camp.
I will be adding a solar input to the aux battery as well over the winter, for the 2026 Overland season.

– Vevor 140A Voltage-Sensing Split Charge Relay
– 6 AWG Cable
– 100A Inline Fuses
