Hello list members, I have a question on installing an Optima Battery for anyone who already has one installed. Checking the archives, I noticed on list member stated you need to replace the 30 amp relay under the drivers seat with a bigger relay as well as a #8 wire from the alternator to the relay. Right now, I have a 32 amp hr battery with the standard westy 30 amp relay and would like to know if anyone is still using this relay/wire setup with an Optima without upgrading. I follwed the instructions from the Vanagon site and had no problems until this year when the battery just won't hold a charge anymore. TIA -steve |
