What causes sulfation: when you draw electrons out of a battery the plates obsorb sulphur ions from the electrolyte. The deeper the discharge the more sulphur is absorbed. When you add electrons to a battery it pushes the sulfur back into solution. When the plates hold sulphur too long it...

I have seen some of the solargizer panels installed on top of the Air op hydraulic pump or air filter as they are not that large. Plenty of room up on the roof of the cab...

Yep, battery tester. On wet cell batteries, you removed the caps on the compartments/cells and inserted it to measure the electrolyte level. If the tip contacted electrolyte, the led would light indicating the cell was sufficiently full of electrolyte… unusable on sealed batteries…

You only need one balancer, even with 4 batteries, as the two series strings are wired in parallel, and parallel batteries are already hardwired to balance:) a single balance will balance the 0-12 to the 12-24 batteries(or vis versa). But you still need a source of power to replace that lost...

No, the 1 and 2 indicate battery 1(gnd to 12v) and battery 2(12v-24v). In your pic the outermost batts are grnd-12v(batt 1 in my diag). The innermost are 12-24v (batt 2). The connections near frame are 24v. One to the starter, one to the 24v batt term on the polarity box and one to the nato...

Oh yeah, you must have a power source…

Actually got one of the small(~5A) balancers and it did what it said it would. I put a 12v solar charger on the 0-12 batt where the A0 vampire draw is, and the balancer would keep the 12-24 batt within .1-.2v of what the 0-12 batt was floating at.

Remove the two forward batteries, or the two rear batteries. Take the connections from the batteries you removed and move them toward the front or rear and re-attach them…
