Gents,
I have a ton of peripherals attached to my 89' M998. I installed a 160 AMP 24 Volt alt two years ago. I switched out the batteries for two new Optima's. No issues. I have a ton of add on's. Speakers, lights, Speed Hut instrument panel etc. This year I'm losing the radio power after a few hours of work and getting it to start is a bit more difficult. It stays on a trickle when parked and the batteries show 24 plus before I roll out and a few hours later its sitting at 22 volts. Those batteries are less the two years old. I have the system wired with a step down and fuse box as well. She's going back under the knife this week for more stereo upgrades and they may find something but ;....
A) I am wondering if there is a high capacity lithium battery or alike that I could plug in my trickle to when she's going to be sitting for a bit. I've got a solar kit to recharge the recharger but has anybody heard of anything.
B) Does the Voltage Regulator go gradually or at once as I wonder if that's my issue.
This forum has been a great help working the issues on this thing. Thanks in advance
