    2008 LTMV goes into over charge dash shuts off

    potato / potaato - but sorta notto- cause it identifies a feature...... is it not more so: Load BALANCE control (or charge) device (or disconnect)? If LBCD does not do any "balancing" between the 12v banks then obviously not. Was under the impression it did.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Nice set up. Don't think you would get imbalance with your set up..... beyond nothings perfect. A tiny balancer, nothing super special would likely be enough insurance though likely not "needed". Folk more expert than I will wade in. Wonder if you could run your 28v charger thru a...

    Dearborn adapter woes

    pretty sure links can be posted. review the rules.... its less an issue that people turned it into. Mostly rule is about auctions (like gov. planet) where people were 1. mentioning them here, creating sometimes unwarranted run up the auction price and 2. to support the sites advertisers who...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    is the charger auto shut off? Suggest you put a battery balancer in your mix of batts. Since he 12v use side always goes low.... charging with 24v only the charger will end up cooking battery(s) due to imbalance even if that charger has an auto shut off.

    Preventing issues with balance beads maybe?

    in post linked below and a few post after; two of our "super users" you could say brought up adding some filters into CTIS for generic reasons. This sparked a thought on doing that for stopping concerns about using balance beads with CTIS... Didn't want to Hijack the thread that filter was...

    200amp 14/28v regulator.. anyone?

    sad they moved this out of hummer forum. this post is specific to hummers; with it moved now; it likely wont be seen by the most relevant population .. No one goes in this thread but sellers... leaving out the much larger population being those who have hummer things on their shelf collecting...

    Toad steerable? (steerable towed vehicle)

    What are we looking at? a Dub with integrated tow dolly feature (pic above) - other Towd's seem to have standard tow bar... orrrr? Beside the name dont see yet the relevance.. (did search this rig...didn't find any info on it beeing steered though. )

    Vertical Solar Panels

    if your debating pulling a Toad rig flat or on trailer, such as a grocery getter, go deeper into Tundra rig or to go get yourself some aid with a stuck/flop... etc.. consider it more cause you can put panels on that too with ability to position it in the sun. Likely save more fuel using that...

    been when weather allows.... concentrating on putting fresh engine in my daily driver. that put me in the truck as last resort. PS- did get two 140amp 24v alts for half price of a Neihoff. Got to alter the LMTV mount to fit one.. which is back to an outside in the cold project issue and...

    AGM and LiFePO4?

    go to a 120amp? or higher? 24v commercial truck alt and a 24v to 12v converter tagged in to run your 12v systems. There is a couple threads in here on this. Then you can go back to your previous plan and run a DC to DC lithium charger though you might consider doing your house bank at...

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    Mighty kind of you..... but it's a 200amp alt that appears to have the bad regulator and not the 100

    AGM and LiFePO4?

    Not worth it... add more solar panels and a small generator and drop to two 12v batts for engine. Maybe upgrade OEM alternator for a hummer 200A or ??? lots of threads in here on alternator woes, upgrading etc.
