My initial readings after the install were 14.2v and 27v while the truck was running. The 12v alternator is rated at 160A but it is not charging at 160A continuous, it is only providing what is being required. This is really the same system as the standard cucv uses except I am using one 24...
In a previous thread I documented the install of a battery equalizer to replace the DUVAC system in my M1010. Well the equalizer lasted about 4 days and quit, of course it's a non repairable sealed unit. The equalizer was given to me so I was not too upset at it's failing, better home than on a...

When I picked up my ex-fire dept. M1010 the electrical was the usual mess with wires and switches all over. They could not figure out the drain on the batteries so they installed a switch on the 12v side and one on the 24v side. They also had a fairly large harness of wires running to...
