This is our deluxe auxiliary battery installation bundle for those who want the latest battery and charging capabilities, and those with higher power needs. Read more in the 'Power Needs' tab.

This kit includes everything you'll need to install a Renogy 50A DC-DC Charger / Solar Controller under or behind your driver's seat and take advantage of its massive 720W charging capacity. We provide the necessary wiring to charge our LiFePo4(100AH) AUX Battery located under the driver's seat or under the Westfalia sink. You'll also receive hardware and instructions to guide you through making the connections that charge your battery and power your radio, 12V outlets, interior lights, sink, and anything else you connect to your auxiliary battery.

Bundle includes:
Renogy 50A DC-DC Charger
DC-DC Charger Install Kit with complete step-by-step color installation instructions
GW-LIFEPO-100AH Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery
• Battery Hold Down Bracket Kit (make your selection for swivel or non-swivel seat bases in the drop-down menu)

Fits: All 1980-91 Vanagon models.

IMPORTANT 30A CHARGING LIMIT NOTICE: It is imperative that the DC-DC charge controller be programmed to a maximum charging output of 30A. Failure to do so can damage your Vanagon electrical system and the GoWesty auxiliary battery system, and may create a hazardous operating condition. We selected this 50A DC-DC charge controller specifically because of the advanced features it offers that lower-amperage units do not provide. However, the Vanagon electrical system, and the GoWesty auxiliary battery system designed to work with it, are intended for a maximum charging rate of 30A. While our 100Ah battery is capable of accepting charging rates up to 100A, the factory Vanagon charging system is not designed to safely support charging above 30A. A properly configured 30A charging rate remains fast, efficient, and safe for long-term use. If you wish to charge at rates higher than 30A, we also offer the battery and charge controller separately for use in custom-designed charging systems.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE: Batteries ship domestically to the continental 48 states via UPS Ground shipping only (we CANNOT ship batteries to Alaska or to Hawaii) - no expedited services (Next Day, 2nd Day, etc.) and no international shipping except to Canada via UPS Standard. Sorry, absolutely no exceptions.

This kit is suitable for you if:
• You have a LiFePo4 battery, or…
• You want to quickly charge your battery bank while driving, or…
• You plan to add or upgrade a solar charging setup, or...
• You want to actively monitor your aux battery’s charge, or…
• You want the tidier wiring and packaging that a DC-DC charger offers.
