battery

Anyone have any insight on adding electrical to the starter system? My switch panel has m10 lugs on the main wires but the terminals on the GX are m12. I ordered several battery terminal expanders on Amazin but their all huge and most don’t come with a cover. I don’t really want to go without a...

I did a 2800 mile road trip through Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado in June. My 1997 LX450 did great with no major issues - just one instance of a dead battery caused by a rogue seat heater in my aftermarket Corbeau seats that came on randomly without the switch being in the "on" position. The...

Hey all, I figured the following was worth sharing. The folks at Inergy gave me a 10% discount code to share with people -- if anyone is considering an off-the-shelf battery system which can support solar and a bunch of other features, I recommend taking a look: Discount Link here -- or I...

Finally got tired of the old battery maintainer with big alligator clamps that had to be removed every time and the hood latched. Ordered a maintainer and waterproof plug receptable from Amazon, NOCO brand, and installed last night. Super easy and clean. May drop the AC cord from my ceiling...

Hi I have a 1999 Land Cruiser with 298k miles. Over a year ago the alternator failed and I replaced it along with a new red top battery. It also has a much bigger alternator now too, 270 amps instead of the typically 100. At nights with my headlights on my voltage will drop a little bit and the...

I'm trying to diagnose a problem I've had with starting my 2016 recently. If I let it sit for 1-2 weeks, it really struggles to start. It does start the engine, but sounds like the battery is near dead. On both occasions, I drove for 2 hours to charge it back, thinking it was either cooler...

Greeting Fellow 100 Series Owners! Can anyone help me identify this loose cable coming from the positive battery terminal? It is outlined in orange in the attached image. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone, I've been having odd power issues on my 92. I first noticed my stereo turning off and on and then realized that I had a draining battery when it was starting to struggle to start, turning over slowly. First time I charged the battery and all was well until I started experiencing...

I have a parasitic battery drain. Using a multimeter it’s pulling 0.225, i narrowed it down to the ignition switch, removed that fuse and draw goes down to 0.176 which I think is still high. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Electrical issues are not my strong suit. Also I notice...

My '04 LC100 is acting funny, again. This week, the rear fan had been coming on spontaneously, but I hadn't really been paying much attention to it. Yesterday, after driving the truck about 200 miles the day before, and after it starting fine in the morning, it wouldn't start after a couple...

I've read through a lot of posts about batteries...when I purchased my battery four years ago, Costco told me that I needed the "24F" battery (Interstate). I picked it up but it's never seemed to get the job done. There are no parasitic drains on the system but if left sitting for 3-5 days, the...

I have two questions. 1. I bought my GX 2 years ago and it came with a 24 month battery. We do Overlanding and have been places were if the GX doesn't start, we would be in trouble (I do carry a jump start battery). What is the general consensus on replacing the battery after the "months"...

Hi there, I’m thinking about getting a new battery for the 80 series and the optima yellow top seems to be a good choice. However, after checking the different sizes available from optima it seems that the 27F is a good fit for the 80 series and it is also the OEM size. Would the yellow top...

My 06 LX doesn't have this cover. However I do see this cap in some LX. Anyone knows about the part number of the cap? thanks!

Hi everyone, new to this forum. Recently I picked up an fj60 needing a bit of TLC everything worked great for about 3 months until the battery was swapped now it dies unless given gas on startup. Radio/features also do not work anymore. Originally I thought it was because the connectors were...

Hey all, Having some significant issues getting my FJ62 to turn over reliably. It either fires right up, is slow to turn over, or wont try to turn over at all. More recently it's been not turning over at all despite the electric components turning on. I just hear a click on the starter, and...

Hey everyone, recently my 1991 fj80 has been acting really weird— The other day, when I went to start the car it cranked slower then usual. Stupidly, I continued to drive and the battery didn’t charge, so the car eventually died. Due to this, I thought it was the alternator. I got the battery...

Hello all, I'm Nicolas from France. I recently purchased a 2001 hdj100. My primary goal is to use it next year in a 6-month road trip in Europe (and more I hope after that). I start to plan for some mod and be self sufficient in electricity is one of those. After many reading and watching from...

I am playing around with being able to hang in the back of the cruiser, and the rear fans are _perfect_ .. I haven't touched those rear fan controls in 7 years, but here they are... strength, direction, all controlled from back here. I want to use them without draining the starter battery so...

I am not a fan of OEM battery terminals since they don't provide any additional cable mounting options. A lot of aftermarket terminals that do have provisions to mount extra cables, but don't really work with our trucks because the fusible link assembly needs a vertical post to mount to. This...
