Read and re-read this and catch the tid-bits between the issues we have talked about (charging systems) A lot of information I never or had barely considered important before; now, seems to change the water on the beans for many ideas I initiated. http://www.uuhome.de/william.darden/carfaq5.htm Then check out the "HOME" link at the bottom of that page.That should keep you busy for a day or two. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And still further reading.... results in me tearing out what little hair I have left. I think I will just sell my batteries and get a dozen squirels on treadwheels to provide my electrical needs. http://www.landiss.com/battery.htm Like the guy says in this article..." Are we having fun yet"
I think from all the information I have read tonight and NOT 'linked' to this e-mail, that there are many truths. This field of discussion is like the various religions. They are each right when taken within their own context. I believe that despite all the previous 'educated' discussions that almost every van/battery/alternator/wiring configuration is unique unto itself. In other words it's every man for himself when it comes to what's best for him and his wiring needs. GOOD LUCK! And may the Westy Gods have mercy on your 'sole' decision. |
