All,
I purchased by FJ60 with 2H diesel back in late Spring and the PO had two different batteries in place (diff CCA, brands, date stamps, etc). After a few months I started noticing voltage drops, I finally got around to testing things and determining the battery differences were driving the charging imbalance and voltage concerns.
With that being said, I purchased two new 34FT-2 Autocraft Gold batteries from Advance Auto. A few weeks have passed due to normal life craziness and I went to put the batteries back in the LC (old ones had been removed during this time) and had a brain lapse. I could not remember how the left and right should be hooked up...extremely frustrating.
This is my first diesel/24V parallel system so I read several posts and found the FSM and it's still not very clear to me. It just makes me nervous to hookup incorrectly and arc/damage either the batteries or some other electronic in the LC.
I hate even asking for help with something so simple, but just dont want to screw anything up.
Please help! Below are pics of each side.
