    200amp alt question.... first of many to come

    200 amps of 24v and 50 amps of 12V is what the HMMWV 200 amp alt will put out to my understanding.

    Battery Voltage cycling after startup 1st green - yellow, then max - green, the max'd

    My truck does mostly the same thing, I'm assuming the first part where it is in the yellow is where it's recovering the surface charge on the battery that was depleted by the glow plugs and cranking, and the dips are the glow plugs pulsing. After that comes up a little the voltage regulator is...

    Picked up a used MilSpec Magnum MMG25 for emergency power

    If nothing else they might be able to give you a part number for the manual. At that point you should be able to order it through a dealer, but if it's like the control panel, you'll have to contact the Industrial dealer for the manual.

    Yup, OSPHO is good stuff.

    Picked up a used MilSpec Magnum MMG25 for emergency power

    I'm dealing with a 55kw magnum for a customer. Magnum was bought out by Generac. They are now Generac Mobile, which is separate from the regular Generac equipment/dealer. I'm in the process of getting myself set up as a vendor with them. I called and talked to one of their parts guys last...

    Odyssey PC2250ST 6tl the bad? best seller?

    Odyssey and Northstar brands are both at the top of the battery food chain from all the research I've done. Odyssey is probably the best and only real option if you want to maximize the power stored inside the stock battery compartment. If you want to add another battery box under the rear...

    HMMWV - Battery Issues

    Last time I saw something like that it was a bad connection at the terminal. All the amperage was trying to go through one small spot, causing it to melt. It doesn't appear to be the battery's fault since you've replaced them a few times, I would try a different end for the cable. Looking at...

    Advise needed for MEP-018A

    While I haven't done the conversion myself, I've worked on other units that have been converted. The process is pretty straight forward if you are doing a tri-fuel conversion, which just adds a propane/NG injection port/venturi thing and doesn't really modify the existing fuel system. The ones...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    not in any particular order, but picked up a mostly stripped trailer. Had to replace one section of brake line, then flushed the system using a mightyvac. Finished stripping it down, cleaned up the rust spots. Primed and painted it yesterday. I do need to find a new vent cap for the brake...

    California PG&E outage + generators 10102019

    The goats would probably work just fine, it's California that is the broken part of the equation.

    California PG&E outage + generators 10102019

    While that's not a bad deal, I'd argue to say it's NOT the ideal companion as it has nowhere near the quality or longevity that you'll get from the MEP. About the only thing that will come close is the Honda suitcase generators. But for cost $200 is really hard to beat, and when it fails you...

    California PG&E outage + generators 10102019

    I haven't had to use either my civi Generac diesel RV gen I set up to use as a backup for the house, or my MEP-802A to do more than run test loads every month or three. That being said, I am Generac certified up to commercial generators, so dozens of generators that I maintain for people are...

    My newly purchased MEP-002a...Vandalized

    I'd still tape them up just to be safe, as there will most likely be some residual magnetism in the rotor/stator that will produce some voltage when spinning. Might not be a lot of voltage, but still enough to make some sparks.

    MEP-004A, No output

    Yes, but that is different from saying that 2 12V 120 amp hour batteries in series is 240 amp hours of power, when it is no longer 12V input/output but now 24V, you can't double the amp hour rating when you double the voltage. This seems like you're confusing the original math. Joules is...

    MEP-004A, No output

    Yes, I'm just saying if you run two 12V batteries in series it doesn't make 240 amp hours of power, it makes 120 amp hours of 24V power, so charging at 1 amp at 24V will only take 120 hours not 240. If they were in parallel then it becomes 240 amp hours of 12V power, and charging at 1 amp of 12V...

    HMMWV FNG--Looking for Feedback/Info

    Look at the rebuild tag. It says "Odometer reading at time of IROAN 13202. Speedometer probably failed so they tossed in a new one, no requirements to set a new one to the old reading or write the actual miles anywhere. As 86humv said, it's an 09 rebuild, not an 09 build. Aircon is just...

    MEP-004A, No output

    Your math doesn't work for me. I thought that if they are in series it's still only 120 amp hours, but at 24V. If you put them parallel then it's 240 amp hours at 12V. 1 amp of 24V power is twice as many watts as 1 amp of 12V, or equal to 2 amps 12V as there is 1 amp 12V going to each of the...

    MEP-004A, No output

    I have one customer with a 30+ year old Generac diesel standby unit that would start just fine every time I was there to test it, but would fail to start at random other times. The company that worked on it before me charged them over $1600 to replace most of the fuel system. After doing a few...
