They are out of business now right? Or bought out, are they offering still? It's a shame nice stuff.

It depends on what you are installing it on, some are expensive, but there are some decent ones out there.

I have used the supply mode quite a bit when doing stuff like programming vehicle ECU's etc. Or at times when you are running some load. I've got the 7002 it's worked ok, it's slow, but works.

If you want an A/C version, check my and other original posts. CTEK seems to work well.

I think you mean generating 1.1 amps of charge: about 13 watts. If you have a multimeter I would shut down the system, and see what you have on voltage on each individual panel. Under perfect circumstances it seems like you will get 10 amps, but I doubt you will ever see that. What is the...

A lot of folks have had great luck with the CTEKs. They are mentioned in several threads here. You can also connect through an Anderson Plug and wire somewhere on the vehicle if you need to use it regularly. I've decided to go solar, as it's a pain to me to mess with chargers.

How many batteries are you running? On the AC charger side, you can get a two or three independent battery charging system. This would monitor individual batteries and float if charged, something like that might make sense. It kind of seems like these days, battery charges of old, are not up to...

Some DC units are more than 50% more efficient, over an Inverted system. Don't know what you're going for. Nice web site by the way..

Cool setup for the A/C. Have you considered a DC air conditioner, they are much more efficient?

There is a round tank seal on the top of the gas tank. Mine started smelling, and eventually worse, and some drips, after a fill up. It got worse. I took it to the dealer, and they "fixed it' with an upgrade seal with a metal ring. I drove it home, after having to have it flat bedded to the...

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It's a great setup if you have space for it. Can't you cut the losses due to wiring by over specification of the cable sizes, to avoid losses? If you could mount a 250w 24v house solar panel, you will never have to run the vehicle.

Kind of neat, but it seems like overkill to me. I 50ahr battery and a solar panel would accomplish the same thing for less money and weight. What am I missing? If you're dead set on spending money, I know a company that can build you a high output single, dual or triple alternator, in case...

Thanks for the offer, I'll drop you a PM with my info. I used Anderson connectors on the feed line to the rear, with a 40amp rated disconnect. There is another company that makes a 20amp one that you can set the cutoff behavior on jumpers. Mine are installed in the battery box. The only...

Agreed. I've got a National Luna I would like to mount up, but the slide needs to extend / drop beyond the tailgate because I don't have storage box. It's an LR3, can we get there. I thi I would suggest putting a 100w solar panel and a Small Morningstar controller. That's the route I've decided...

Hi Jerry; I would suggest taking the battery in for an overnight test. Try and independent auto part shop or batteries plus for example. They may not charge you, ask for the printout and bring it with you if it turns out it is bad. That's the route I went with a bad 2 year old Optima Yellow top...

Just for a reference point for you, I'm posting a picture. Pictured some L16 6 volt 400amp hr batteries, AWG 2 Cable (charging), AWG 2/0 Cable (battery interconnect) 175 Amp Anderson connectors, MC4 Solar cable. Keep in mind this is larger stuff than you need, but it will give you some idea of...

OK, I didn't realize your in the UK, once converted, the price is slightly more here than there, but not a deal killer. Folks here are making plenty of margin on them I'm sure. As I read what he said, it agrees with what I'm saying... Charge at the 2nd battery, it will relink when the voltage...

I am going to try and address several of the last comments here. I got my information directly from Traxide, granted it is a different unit than you are using, and I posted his suggestions. According to him, I could also plug in and charge from my 40amp Anderson plugs already fitted in the...

I would think the reason for the timeout before it is charged are the charge controller. The other possibility might be too little solar panel wattage. I haven't explored that aspect yet for the mobile, except to say from the Specifications the Morningstar would be a good place to look. If you...

I'm working on the same project, drop me a PM if you'd like to talk, I'll send you my e-mail and phone. Read through this thread as well. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/125344-Is-my-battery-really-draining-and-how When a charge is applied to the Aux battery, the voltage will go...
