    Quick question on wiring acces. to parallel batteries

    Thanks, as I was putting together I thought the same thing. I assume I can use fuse block for negative as well since my negative wires will not reach far battery? Any recommendations on who makes good fuse blocks?

    Quick question on wiring acces. to parallel batteries

    Hello, If I have three 12v batteries wired in parallel, can I split the accessories positive wires among two different positive battery terminals, or do I need to connect all positive cables to the same positive battery terminal? I ask because I need longer SS bolt to put all positive connects...

    DC to DC Charger Needed?

    Thank you for response, good call as I am replacing two 6v FullRiver AGM's, they lasted 4.5 years, they still work but not for long, battery dealer tested and need replacing. Probably user error for short life span. My Isolater is actually an Eaton Smart Solenoid so I don't know if your answer...

    DC to DC Charger Needed?

    Thanks. The Buck Boost is nice but price breaks the bank. If I wasn't occasional weekend warrior I think I could justify cost. I am leaning towards the Orion TR and like the BMV 712 but have a question. I ordered 3 - 100ah Lifeline Heated Lithium batteries and they have built in bluetooth BMS...

    DC to DC Charger Needed?

    On a E-350 Super Duty Cutaway Camper Van, do I need to replace Isolator with a DC to DC Converter to account for Lithium's different charging needs and protect engine battery and Alternator from "load dump"? I am going from two DC220-6 6V batteries to three Lithium heated 100ah. If I need one...

    Low Voltage Disconnect alarm DOD change from 6v to LifeP04 12V

    I was a bit confused as your reference about the LifeP04 cut off at around 12.8v, but I think I realized the lithium has different voltage levels than 12v. I have been using the following chart, but will I need to replace with a LifeP04 such as one below it? So based on what you said and chart...

    Thanks, I do have a shunt already with 6 volt batteries, so with LifeP04, I can just bypass LVD?

    Low Voltage Disconnect alarm DOD change from 6v to LifeP04 12V

    I found my current LVD and it is Sure Model 135001, set at 20% DoD (11.8v) but I do not think it is set at 20%. It's seems much higher but I guess I need to check.

    Low Voltage Disconnect alarm DOD change from 6v to LifeP04 12V

    Hello, I plan to go from 2 - 6V AGM batteries in a 12V system to two LifeP04 heated Lithium batteries in a 2001 camper, since lithium has a much greater allowable DOD (depth of discharge), do I need to reset my existing Low Voltage Disconnect alarm to not kick-in once I go lower than 50% DoD, or...

    Vehicle Fridge/Freezer That Stays Cold for 24-48 hours w/o Power?

    I don't know of one that will keep food cold close to 24 or 48 hours, but I installed second battery in back of JGC that only runs my frig 24/7. It has separator to engine battery that charges rear battery when car is running, but rear battery cannot pull from engine battery on its own. I have...
