battery

Is there such a thing? Disclaimer: I’m a fairly non-tech-savvy person regarding batteries. I’m looking at the EcoFlow batteries and similar and seeing how everyone uses them. I’m thinking I may not need that much power. I have recently set up my fridge in the back of my 200. It previously...

been thinking about getting one for battery testing. I'm considering going 400W in case I want to test biggish solar panels at some point, but those are pricy. So, 200W it may be. (Although it appears that some may be upscaled in power with just some software instructions.) I'd want...

I was cleaning up some wiring mess under the dash of my FJ80 prior owner had a mess under there from a security system, and wiring up radio with speakers and whatnot.. After I got done everything works fine got back from a 30 min drive doing some errands shut truck off keyed it back on to check...

Right, I have a LHD Turbo diesel 5 speed with dual factory battery set up. The positive lead on the starting battery (left side when facing truck) is very frazzled and it's not providing a solid connection. I removed the terminal end to replace it and straighten out the braid so that slides...

I am scratching my head. By incident I found out the glow plugs won't turn off and killed my alternator. Once replaced I felt the wire to the battery were hot! The car is 1985 HJ75 Troopy with 2H motor. Anyone had similar experience? I am just starting to read about the system including the...

I have searched Walmart's site and it says the group size 24F is compatible with my 2014. But everywhere else it says 27F is the correct group size. And then, should I consider AGM over regular? Thank you.

keys are in the ignition, battery is dead, and doors are locked. it's a totally snafu situation. I don't have access to the spare key either. Someone PM me how to get into my 80 without breaking a window. I don't want to call a locksmith and wait hours for one to show up and pay a bunch of money...

Hey guys - My right side battery took a dump and I'm looking to replace both. Issue is, I'm having trouble finding a "good" replacement for the right side, given that the terminals are oriented opposite of most group 27 batteries. I'd like to have the same unit on both sides with the same specs...

Greetings from a new member, I have had my LX for about 4 years, and it seems to eat batteries. I have to replace the current one after one year in the car, about 5000 miles. Last one lasted about two years. Both Costco Interstate 27f. Cheap, but not what I need off road. Any suggestions, like...

Battery died, so I replaced it with a Duralast Gold 27F. + and - connections are correctly attached. After I changed out the battery, the LC intermittently but regularly shakes and lurches at low RPMs and in tight turns, and lights dim. Once I give it gas, its fine, but the rythmic shaking...

First time dipping my toe in the water of this part of the forum, and into dual battery systems in general. I'm going to be putting a dual battery system in my daily driver FJ60 in the coming months and I'm starting the process of designing the system and acquiring parts. I have a background in...

2011, 162K miles Car would not start this morning, but did try and turn over weakly before completely dying. Odd thing was the dash and screen was on, presumably overnight, even though the car was shut off and in park. It's possible car was shut off in gear and then moved to park (kids). Got...

Thoughts on this.. price is low.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/125038901445 Decent discount/price for a somewhat name brand lifepo4 100AH battery. We use them at work and they are a solid product. cheers, george. Well, the 20% discount expired yesterday. So deal is over. Mine is sitting in the garage as I get everything ready to...

My 100 wouldn’t start on a cold morning this week. I jumped battery and it started. I replaced the battery with a Duralast Gold 27. The last two times I’ve driven it, a major vibration/shaking develops when I was at a stop light, and right after pulling into a parking spot. It went away...

I am aware of the higher voltage charging requirements for AGM vs std led acid vehicle batteries. I plan to upgrade my battery to an AGM deep cycle battery. Is the charging circuitry the same on all model year GXs? Assuming the alternator is not able to provide the proper charging voltage for...

I have a 1994 FZJ80. I recently replaced the alternator with an Denso replacement from @cruiseroutfit. Still was having issues with a dead battery on occasion. I replaced the fusible link and installed a new battery tonight. I had the old one tested and it had gone bad. I had them test the...

I decided to quick write up on my aux (triple) battery setup. Wanted to share with the community for a few months now. Also made a video below. I have gone through four iterations of aux battery setups in my 2019 200-series over the years. This iteration is a full reset (total rip-out and...

Battery light came on and you can see the volt guage dropping on the dash with the car running. Voltmeter reads 10V at the battery with engine running. 11-12 volts with engine off. Turning headlights on will stall the motor. I have to use a jump pack to move the car from lot to lot. Does not...

Hey all, I am seeking advice on identifying the cause of an electrical draw on the battery in my 1993 80 series LC. Here is what I've done so far: I bought a new AGM battery from Costco The previous battery was ~7 yo I cleaned up all of the engine ground wires and other ground wires I could...
