Making your own Shc-35 battery pack? This helps!

[profo]

Heres the connector and sockets for the battery pack you can get from Mouser electronics 538-36648-0006 and 538-02-08-1004, I will make a drawing of what wire goes where later but if you open the lid on heater you can see it pretty easy, there is a grayish/white which is pos of battery one, and green which is neg of battery one, the red which is pos of battery 2 and black which is neg of battery 2. I used two 7ah 12 vdc battery like that goes on deer feeders kids cars etc., And you put a 5.1k ohm , 1 watt resistor accross the lil blue wires(this fools the heater thinking its warm and not needing the battery heater which I dont use. so you can make your own pack for about 50 bucks!

I was just at the electronic store yesterday looking for that molex connector.

All they had locally in 9-pin was a .93 size and it looked way too small.

Funny. I ordered a set last night and they arrived today. I was like...whaaaat? Then I saw they were just down the coast from me. LOL

I think that's what I ended up with, a whole box of one size too small but the copper fittings were enough to get it plugged in. Now just need to override that 18 beep sensor alarm.

Just packed up my heater, will order the 5.1k ohm , 1 watt resistor and the correct size Molex 9 pin parts set and try again next week.

The batteries I used from Ebay were only $45 shipped (based on this post I looked for
12 Volt - 8 Ah - UB1280 - 8Ah AGM Battery
Seller:
SLA Battery and More
out of Surgarland TX and they shipped lighting fast....!
) and they fit right into the battery tray and the velcro holds them in perfectly, so I would suggest that as a good battery option. I only got a low battery code after using them over and over for a couple hours, then charged them and the code went away so they seem to work good for $45 for the pair including shipping.

Thanks for all your help, especially you Third From Texas and PROFO
