charging

Hey gang, had the battery light coming on, eventually the car died while I was driving. Was less than a half mile from my place and all down hill, so made it home. Set out to fix the alternator. I saw that the wire that connected from the battery to the alternator was very corroded on the...

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 wanted to do faster charging on my Ecoflow. I installed a Victron DC 12v to DC 30v converter (Max 20 amp) and wired it in my 8 gang switch pod. The switch pod is rated for 60amps total. I put a 40 amp fuse where I wired the Victron to. The Ecoflow can only pull 15amp max at the charging port...

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...

Two months ago the alternator in my parents’ 1999 started making a weird whirring/moaning noise, and about two days later stopped charging. Replaced it with a reman unit from my local dealer. This week that unit started making the exact same noise. It’s still charging at the moment but the...

Hello. My cruiser has this issue when I start it up, the battery will not start charging unless I rev the engine up to 3k-4k rpm. I replaced the battery and alternator. Does anybody has this happening and if so, what was the issue? Thank you in advance.

I have a 2001 Lexus LX470 that won’t charge the battery. The alternator, the belt tensioner and the serpentine belt were replaced today. It still won’t charge and I am lost at what to look at next. The two frame grounds near the battery have been checked, cleaned and tightened. All of the fuses...

Does anyone else think it’s a waste of space? I never use mine cause it sucks. Does anyone know of anything to use that space better? More cup holders or anything?!

Finally able to post after attempting to register. Wow! What a treasure trove of knowledge. Super embarrassing. But here it goes. I'm 52. I should know much better. But my Man Card remains inside a mason jar full of ice in the freezer. I've not earned it yet. I lift lots of heavy stuff...

On another thread I have been trying to figure a way to power my lipo4 “power station” (an ecoflow delta 2) Since that thread is actually about fridges, I think it is more fitting that I ask this question on a new thread. Long term I do plan on setting up a DC DC charger in the cargo area but...

I have a LC 100 99 model with 450 000 km. Last week I started to experience problem with charging - for several hours - no charging emptying batteries with no charge lamp. I bought a voltmeter for the lighter port to closely monitor the voltage as my garasje have not been able to fic it...

Yet another attempt: Please share me your thoughts on my plan for charging a portable battery for my fridge. Currently , I have a Jackery 500 which has proven to be inadequate for more than ONE overnight trip for my fridge. I want to avoid dual battery set up and just need to charge the...

New alternator, new voltage regulator and still not charging battery? Disconnected the (green) wiring harness going to the voltage regulator and noticed one of the wire connectors was missing inside the harness (see attached picture) was curious if anyone has the same harness that could check...

I have had the Cascadia 4x4 VSS 85 watt system installed since April 2023, I bought the full system which includes the MPPT charge controller from Cascadia. After install everything was working fine with the system, it was charging the house battery and I had no issues, but also at the time I...

HJ61 24V LHD While I had a problem with my alternator which suddenly stopped charging, relying on certain other posts, I did not even look for the existence of the Charge Light Relay believing that it was non-existent on my vehicle. It was a huge mistake because after hours of testing and...

I'm using Coolerman's adaptor harness for installing an internally regulated alternator from a later vehicle into my '77. I had the alternator checked at the local Orileys to make sure it was charging. I've triple-checked the tie-in of the adaptor harness to the factory harness. per...

Hi all, I’ve been having issues with my alternator (reconditioned when fitted) not putting out any more the 6 amps. This has been a problem since the engine was swapped around a year ago. Is there anything easy I could have looked over when putting it back together? TIA Jack

Are there any good mounts or mounting ideas for a wireless charger in a LC200? I want to have a stable option that can charge while my Vline V2 is in use. Heard they use extra power. Want something that looks nice.

My first post as a member as I've exasperated all other options. Thank you all in advance should you decide to take a look into my issue. My internally regulated alternator on my 1982 FJ60 stopped charging my battery. I was unsuccessful at finding one locally, so I ordered a new Altec one from...
