Solargizer install questions

[Dieselsmoke]

Well, I've got Solargizers installed on all of my trucks and am just about to install one on my M1009. I've found the perfect install location for the solar panel. They are very specific in the instructions to not change the length of wire between the box and the battery which leads to my question. I was considering using the radio bus bar to connect my leads to. However, that bus bar is 6 feet further from the batteries so wonderiing if that would have any effect on it's operation? I guess I could call them tomorrow.
How did you guys install yours?

Well, called Solargizer today and they said no problem at all connecting to the radio bus bar. System is up and running, light is on steady and the sun is starting to go down so must have mounted the solar panel in a good spot! Mounted it on the roof next to the GPS antenna.

Looks Good Bill. Gotta get mine hooked up one of these days.

I fixed your spelling, should aid in any searches on the forum.

Hey, DS would you be willing to write up a tech article on the install process?

what can a solargizer charge? It looks good and doesn't look that big either what are the dimensions on that?

It doesnt charge anything. It desulfates your batteries.. And it works very well.

I had one on my deuce but ended up talking it off. I built a shed to park it in so I didn't figure it would do any good.

On a 2-battery system, where should the wires from the Solargizer box hook? Should one wire go to the back battery and the other to the front battery?

Thanks in advance for your posys.

The black wire will go to the negative post that is bonded to the vehicle frame and the red wire will go to the positive post of the other battery (not the battery that has the negative post bonded to the frame).

Before connecting anything use a multimeter to verify that the posts you have chosen show 24V (nominal) between them and to confirm the correct polarity.

Hi Guys,

I just got my solargizer
as seen here: http://www.chargingchargers.com/images-pulsetech/is-24-l.jpg

But it came with no installation instructions, and a little bag of screws, zip ties, nuts, bolts,
some sort of adhesive tapes, little plastic tubes, grommets, etc.

Anyone have any installation instructions/wiring diagrams, etc. they can post?
So I can download, save them, etc., and install this thing correctly?

Thank you, have a good day,

CJ

I also didn't get any instructions with mine, I was just planning on bucking most of the stuff that came with it and attempting a military style install on the hood.

Mistaken1 gave the correct installation. Mine has an illuminated battery tester with button mounted to the dash and the panel is mounted inside on a custom made bracket in the windshield just above the dash. It helps keep your batteries fresh for good full power starts.
