I believe the Sears Platinum batteries were indeed the same battery, in sheep's clothing, as the Odyssey pc1500dt. I ran the Platinum's when Sears still sold them because they were about 100$ cheaper than the Odyssey battery with the same specs. In fact Sears warranty was better than the...

I don't understand. I use Gia on an iPad and still see the Gia Map app icon on my home screen. What are you speaking of ? Got it now. I do not remember seeing a map icon on the bottom of the running Gia app on my iPad. I use the Gaia iPhone app so infrequently that I was not aware of this map...

Herbie, If you had owned and used an '80 Jeep CJ7 in the '80's to 90's you could have developed the skills and experience you are using now. Pick-a-Part runs, Shade Tree mechanics, one banana, two banana and three banana projects were common then, before a jeep owner could go to the aftermarket...

I read this post when it first appeared, along with Another: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/the-arizona-strip-may-9-15-2009.40589/ Have been to Parashant Arizona Strip for one adventure from Mesquite to Snap Point Overlook and back out with the Desert Ratz 4x4 Club of Las Vegas . Had...

I traveled those routes in the '90's with Dennis and the FOMR group. Great memories. Need to do it again in the spring before the temps go up. Thanks for posting the adventure report.

Just received three from the online store last week. They look great, radio fits.

Read the battery manufacturers info on the battery. You will find that LiFePO4 are not starting batteries and should not be paced under the hood (temp too high there).

Check this out: If you read thru it, you will find some very important battery charging info: https://www.odysseybattery.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/US-ODY-TM.pdf

Could be failure to recharge the battery to 100% SOC at least weekly, and possibly using the battery below 50% SOC routinely. Plate Sulfation. DO you ever Equalize charge the battery ?

All you state is true. Sears used to sell a platinum line of Odyssey manufactured or relabeled batteries. Same specs as the Odyssey battery, 8 year replacement and 10 year prorated life as i remember. Used a pair for 8 years in a Ford F250 diesel pickup. About that time sears started closing...

I cannot find the tech manual they used to share on their web site. But big group 31 Odyssey batteries require a higher voltage charge than others about once a week to keep them happy. I did find this info from Odyssey about battery recovery, with similar info...

Look at the photo below ....... ? I missed it.

If the solar panel + - leads are neither grounded to earth ground, you will not get shocked solar wire to earth ground.

The ebay listing for that panasonic panel has ended, but there is a panasonic link with specs and info https://na.panasonic.com/us/energy-solutions/solar/hitr-black-series/n325k-photovoltaic-module-hitr-black-40mm and several other seller links, one being...

Yes ACE, that was me, RandyP. Oridavadah, Brett's adventure.

Do Not use a BP-100 to charge a battery with the Charger+ lead wired to the BP100 'out' stud and the Battery + lead wired to the BP100 'in' stud. This scheme runs current thru the BP100 in the reverse direction and can cause a fire.

There is a figure in the BP-100 'manual' I received (Rev08 27-03-2017) with the product with some words about second battery protect. Here's an image of figure 5: The caution is not sufficient to warn about possible fire when running current thru the BP100 in reverse. In my case the current...

Just found this info. It explains why my BP-100 was a little flakey when running the battery charger current thru it backwards. I guess I'm lucky I did not start a fire with it. Limited to about 36A reverse thru the BP. Connecting a charger to Load (Out) side of a BatteryProtect - Victron Energy...

Dreadlocks, have you reviewed this info. It explains why my BP-100 was a little flakey when running the battery charger current thru it backwards. I guess I'm lucky I did not start a fire with it. Limited to about 36A reverse thru the BP...
