That doesn't sound too bad then. Perhaps it would be worth getting someone else with a charger to run it through a cycle before you commit the money to buy a charger. 12.8 after a full charge and sitting a few hours would be awesome. I had one, that I abused and habitually let over discharge...

There's been a lot of discussion on these. Here is one thread worth reading through. I've finally decided to engineer something to sell as a reasonable priced alternative to the expensive LR ones. Not sure when that will be ready. Folks have had good luck with ebay, various LR classifieds on...

What kind of Fridge do you have? Have you considered adding a solar setup to your vehicle, or is mobility of the setup important? If a second deep cycle is parallel, does it need more voltage to charge or just time? -- More time, it would charge concurrently 2 x the time. Would the batteries...

Your earth should be the same size. Cut in half, it doesn't necessarily matter what color it is. Where are the pictures of the installation?

I agree, most AGM manuals state if heavily discharged to recharge it right away, if not, or discharged over time, there will be permanent damage. It also depends on the temperature it was stored in, and if it was fully charged when it was stored. Every 3 months (or less from what I see) to...

Just to eliminate any other interference or possible issues. If they say it works, and it does not, there has to be something going on. Sorry about the bad choices comment, it seems like the first issue being the company you purchased from not helping you out, and the 2nd being the fact you had...

Sounds like two bad choices. That being said, clipping it to the battery might be in impedance to the correct voltage / amperage. Can you connect it more solidly. You do not need to have it in the jeep to test, you should be able to connect it directly to the battery terminals on a battery not...

As a side note, everything I have read regarding solar charging for example, is that generally the monthly equalize mode is disabled. That being said, I agree with Scott regarding the ctek being a decent solution for maintenance, and feeding of your yellow top.

If you are going to get a controller, I'd say to stick with Morningstar, they've done you right so far, and they do make great stuff, speaking of not getting left powerless in the middle of nowhere. You will get what you pay for, and Morningstar is American made...

Just connect it to the + and - Keep the wire the same length for the connection to each battery to battery connection. Here's how I did mine.

If you connect to the positive on one battery to the negative on the other, you would be doubling your voltage. I do not think you want to do that in this case. Making the assumption you are running 12v batteries, you don't want to do that. Just wire them + to + and - to -. You'll double your...

If it turns out that's what you need... I can sell you an exchange remanufactured transfer box or differentials. But I know there is a guy in Texas with a great deal on a used transmission and transfer case. The pulled it out, along with the engine to build some kind of 500hp monster. The...

shoot, just lost my post. . I read the manual, the Sunsaver has a solar overload circuit. It could be a hassle if you trip it and have to reset it to clear the fault. Simplest, is you can add another 10 and run them together, the next option would be to upgrade to the 20. For my money, I'd be...

I wouldn't swear to it, but I believe the excess is clipped. This makes sense, as you rarely get the rated capacity anyway. If it turns out to be problematic you can always eliminate the 20W panel. I'm not a fan of the sunsaver, but for no other reason than they seem fairly bare bones. It can...

+1 on the Morningstar, but it is not meant to be mounted outside, it needs to be mounted out of the weather. Order the temp sensor for it, you can cut it, and use the extra wire for the voltage sensor. In the vehicle I did the Prostar PS-30, it's a bit more compact, but not MPPT. I have the...

Use a solar charge controller such as the Morningstar that has the temperature sensor, and you should be fine. The charge controller will compensate the charging routine based on the temperature. I use a yellow top, which also is good for the winch, and the engine battery is a MTP-49/H8...

I don't see why you could not do it, as long as you also account for charging them.

As far as I have found there are zero modifications or performance gear available for the jag 4.4 engine. Maybe now that we've got a couple of part time racers on here with LR3's one of those creative people will come up with something. It looks like this is the one you're talking about. It...

The National Luna & Engel I have run 21 hours a day, on average when it's really hot out.
