Charge each battery separately by hooking directly to each battery only. 12v charge. 24v charging would mean hooking the leads to each far end of each battery. The negative hooked to battery #1 and the positive hooked to battery #2. Or, hooked to...

    My MEP-803a experience

    Howdy, There is a lot more going on there than I expected too. I was under the impression that it was just simply a common bus bar with sync lights, with a connection switch to put unit 1 and unit 2 online.

    My MEP-803a experience

    Howdy, I would suggest you run the unit a bunch before committing to 4x4 lumbar. You will get vibrations, and reverberation sounds which can be more than you need. Others have found by making a pad with dirt, crushed stone, and even rubber stall mats to use as a base. Look over the information...

    Serching for MEP-803A Parts

    Howdy, A thread to go though http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?150954-MEP-8xx-series-Replacement-parts And, since your unit has 10 hours, I would suggest using break-in oil. Look carefully at the oil draining out for water. Water can go in the exhaust and rust everything up.
