So I've been fiddling with this today. I "acquired" this when a friends business went titsup.com and I stuck it to one side as I couldn't find any instructions and the control panel made no sense!
I had to drag it out the other night when I got the landie up to the workshop (having been jump started at home, and given a good run) and the battery was still flat. I eventually hooked it up to the landie's anderson jump leads, and figured out how to get it going (though I blew the fuses several times as I hadn't read any manual at that point).
Anyway, with that in mind, I dragged out a spare SB175 anderson and set to work this afternoon giving it a bit of a tweak - I tracked down a manual the other night, ordered more fuses, and have now labeled the switches (from CB/Start to Charge/Start, 1/2 to Normal/Fast Charge). I've also added a note to leave on "Start" for 2mins before trying to start! Which would explain how I blew the fuses...
It now sports half an anderson connector, as I ran out of cable, but that will be rectified soon. I've converted it's jump leads into anderson>croc clips, so I now have 2 of those sets, and I'm going to build a 3.5m anderson>anderson extension lead also. Next step after this will be to add anderson connections to the rest of the fleet! The Discovery sports front and rear andersons for winch and jump start duty.
