Ah, bummer. At least some of the fuel cans currently on eBay aren't as bad as they have been in recent years.

And Tractor Supply sells Scepter water cans. I don't recall if the openings are threaded the same, but I think so. But I see Scepter fuel cans on eBay for $50

Well you might move the batteries in where it's warmer in the meantime. I don't know your application here. I'm likely not the best to answer, though. I recreated the OEM setup with a temp sensor and heating element. But honestly, I don't know that I've ever run the...

What are you using for a temp sensor?

Awesome !!!!

TM Troubleshooting (assuming OEM battery): TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE FAULT CODE 18 – BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR SYMPTOM Heater inoperative, the system fault light repeatedly flashes eighteen times, and repeatedly sounds eighteen audible warning tones. MALFUNCTION Loose battery connection...

Not sure if it's in the TM section on SS https://www.hdtglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/TM_10-4520-264-12P_SHC60_MARCORSYSCOM.pdf

Do you have the TM? iirc it has some trouble shooting tips per code. But I'm not at home at the moment to look it up. 18 is the ambient temp sensor I think

Keep in mind, these things were designed to be external to the tent. There's not much quiet about them. LOL

Mine doesn't always come on. Not sure why.

A simple resister cam spoof the temp but there are also actual temp sensors. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/making-your-own-shc-35-battery-pack-this-helps.206656/ This is the heating element I used (test them before use, as I had one that ran SUPER hot)...

Look back a page or two in this thread. You can make your own battery solution. The way the unit is powered and the way it charges, requires two batteries. A single would not work. I seem to recall that there is a minimum size (amp hours) but a couple larger batteries should work ...

Not sure. The 8ah batteries put out a total of about 20a (a little over 10a per battery). Just a guess, but I suspect that it might cook off a "Low Voltage" alarm on the controller before the charging kicks in. While the system is pretty self contained once it reaches "Charging" state, it...

I don't have a reference between the two (these were actually the first diesel heaters I ownedc beyond the Hunter that was installed in my M1079 box. That said, it can move a MUCH higher volume of air and from my experience it can be pretty damned hot air. I've vented it in my...

Nice. I used an old 50 can for one heater and a plastic Harbor Freight ammo box for another.

On mine (and the drawing): 14g brown is the sensor loop 14g wht is the heat element loop Red and blk 18g make up battery01 Wht and grn 18g make up battery02 I don't see any reason that you couldn't use 18g on all. Colors could vary I guess (SHC made millions of these battery packs)...

I'm loading a transport here in a few hours, but I'm going to make up a set of leads for my second heater this week. Will advise if all works.

I used the connector that Profo posted in the below link. Perfect fit for my SHC60. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/making-your-own-shc-35-battery-pack-this-helps.206656/ The 1st and 3rd images are correct (and match the 4th drawing). And thanks for that 1st pic. I totally forgot...

OH......btw It won't start if the sensor is over 80 degrees if I recall. I had to wait six months to start trouble shooting mine. LOL It's been in the 80's here all week with another round of 80's forecast until the weekend so I'm not missing the heater (but I couldn't...

18 beeps is the temp sensor
