I keep forgetting that I have the 24v takeoff head from the BAPU charger. That will get used for something. Had 3 hrs break in before warehoused.

But the magic smoke has often been let out of those. (don't ask me how I know, but like I said I'm very good at releasing that) ;p

That's pretty slick. I'd rather not run the hours up on my gen if I can afford it and my fuel cost already sucks money from the build project. LOL Mine is a 10hp L100 that I converted from a BAPU (24v charger) via a head swap. I'm still researching inverters (every time I find one that has...

Well there are always a percentage of bad reviews on Amazon. But that's true with all electronics, really. I'm not dissing NOCO I just want to try something cheap with a reasonable amp output that can be run while attended. NOCO's get a bit pricy in the 6-10a range. I can coax the magic...

There's a fella who went 48v in his M1079 hab for setting up a mini-split to run on solar. Of course he has alternative power sources but it's pretty slick. I don't recall the specifics, but I think it's also Alex from ACELA. Sort of along these lines...

Yep. I should have titled the thread "Pulse Maintenance" opposed to charging to clarify. As I said in the post, I'm just looking to see if I can breathe some life into some Hawkers. One of four are fine, but the others could have been dead for years. I already have a PulseTech kit (and it...

I have a load tester from Horror Freight and it would liquify at 1000a. LOL

Speaking of which, what is roughly the weight of trans and t-case?

Yeah, I have a PulseTech. Plan to mount it fixed on my M1079 once I get the rest of the solar package lined up. For now I just want something that works on cloudy days. I wouldn't the the Chinese crap unattended, but for pulsing a 12v they seem to do the same thing (at 8amps).

btw: it's just an example There are some that have decent reviews for 24v. Edit, and 12v really will do as I'm speaking about individual/uninstalled battery refresh/maint.

I've got a set of Hawkers that are not totally "dead" yet. In fact one is holding charge with a sustained drain and appears to be fine. I have the usual PulseTech solar maintainer, but I ran across this and for the price I have to try it. Has anyone tinkered with similar (Chinese crap)...

Mine doesn't make any noise. I'll be doing the swap myself (cuz that's all I can afford). Here's a sample from the trans and t-case. Some silly private filled them with chocolate milk.

Any form of "donated" is good. While I'll never be one to share my build, ideas, or travels for sponsorship or monetization, I *do* accept donations. My nephew has a little pod camper that was about six years old. They rarely used it as an 18' camper was too small for a family of four (now...

Thinking outside the hab....err box. :)

Outstanding ! I'm facing a trans swap on one of my trucks and I'm not exactly looking forward to the job.

Seriously, though... You're second assessment is correct. The reason they aren't seen much on rock crawlers (or rigs racing at KoH) is two fold: 1) the "rings" that they run are in fact over-sized extensions of the bead lock. Think that thru a second. What happens when one takes a serious...

Plywood? That would quadruple their price. ;)

* "USED to run" ;p Yeah, back then the engineers had not discovered the concept of incorporating slots or holes. Not until the government spec'ed "no mud or pebbles" did someone make such a breakthrough. Now if there were just some way to cut some form of hole or slot in the metal like the...

And a flat plate would be crushed at 14ga steel. But I'm pretty certain that a 1/4" wheel ring can take a lickin' if it's resting against the rim. So make them to the desired thickness that sets you mind at ease. I don't disagree that the U-shape allows more bracing surface, but no one is...

12v vampiric drain? Add a balancer and all will charge evenly.
