RE: UB12220 battery system I've not installed such a setup in my Westy but have used the same type of battery for other purposes (powering my telescope mounts) in the past, had several of them in the 17AH size. And they are very sensitive to getting the right charging. I've been watching the threads that come up from time to time about this setup in a Vanagon and Craigs post confirms my suspicions: Be very careful how you set up the charging circuits or you won't get much 'distance' out of them. And don't ask me how to charge them right in a Vanagon because I don't know. |
