Theunis,
I'm looking forward to that! OOOOMS helped me to secure a good 2nd-hand NL dual battery system (without the box which I intend getting sometime) and I'm very keen to install that into my KZ:thumbup:

I have completed the manual, but it is over 200k which is the site limit :o:

I am trying to get rid of some of the lesser required photos, etc. Keep checking!

Theunis, in what format have you done the write-up? Did you convert it to a PDF file (use PDF Creator)?

Otherwise, send it to one of the Mods, I think we can upload a larger PDF file.

Here it is!

I broke it up into 4 PDF files - the photos caused some trouble, even after I had compressed and resized them.

It works like this:

part 1 - Introduction
part 2 - Installation
part 3 - Connecting the cables
part 4 - The Loadbox

You need all four to be able to make sense of the installation.

Ask if there is anything that I can help with! :boss:
