Sorry to open an old thread but doing the “poor man’s part time conversion” by adding free wheeling hubs to the front and driving round with the center diff lock in, will the center diff lock be strong enough to handle all that force always applied to only one of its outputs? Just stuffed my...

yup that's what it does fires on the first compression stroke which is why I was thinking it'll be okay to drop some starting capacity.

I also don't mind rewiring with appropriate sized wire to further reduce voltage drop

Yeah so thats what i'm wondering factory 24 volt starter right due to voltage drop its more like 4500 watts / 22v = 205 amps, in practice I get 190 amps but not sure how accurate my amp meter is or not pulling full capacity out of the motor. but the 12v equivalent is only 2500w so with...

yeah that is because the current needs to go through the flat battery in order to start it which the flat battery has a lot of internal resistance.

The other option is having 2 12v lifepo4 batteries in 1 battery pack and extend the cables over but it gets a bit more complicated keeping the cells balanced and designing the pack also gets a bit complicated and will need 2 jumper packs if I manage to accidentally drain them.

Yeah it’s 12v in parallel most of the time but only when starting it’s 24v

These These Lifepo4 cells will be fine for starting, actually will be a lot better than lead acid. The whole point of it is to save some space and weight and only have 1 battery as starter and aux with a cut off so only can drain down to 30 giving me enough capacity to still start it. So how...

Hello everyone electrical question here. I currently have a jap spec 1996 hdj81 land cruiser with 24 volts starting 12 volts running. I am wanting to convert it to run at 12v all the time with Lifepo4 cells (lithium battery) charging straight from the alternator. Now I would like to take...
