I would love to see them again.
And any that you have Greg.

Stone said:Hi Brad:
Sorry about that...I was cleaning up my photo website and I thought that the Solar Converter pics have been up for a while and that I could take them down. I'm out of town right now (visiting family in Kelowna), so I'll put them back up when I get back to the Coast on Sunday.
Cheers,
Stone

Tim-HJ61 said:Not sure why the focus on a solar convertor to do the battery balancing act when it's not built for this purpose. In my HJ61 24v I use a Redarc Battery Equaliser to do the job. Works fine.
I've installed it upside down underneath the high 12V battery (there's a great hidey hole underneath these if you've not discovered that) and feed the equaliser from the +ve and -ve of that same high 12v battery. Not the best place for creek crossings, but fine for the dust I'm usually encountering. I've installed a relay to the ACC to ensure the Equaliser switches off, other than that, it's entirely automatic and faultless.
Redarc is an Australian company with a good reputation here.

When connected as a battery equalizer, it allows large transient 12 V loads to be taken off the centre tap of a 24 V battery (made of 2 X 12 V batteries) without fear of upsetting the voltage balance of the battery and destroying the 24 V battery system that would otherwise occur.
so if using a 12V stereo with a Solar (or similar) convertor, I beleive that the stereo case is a chssis ground style of set up.
Would this present a problem if feeding a 12+ and a 12- to it if operating on a pure 24V truck? The metal frame of the deck would come into contact with the live chassis points, and I have a totally 24V truck.
hey,
New to cruisers, saved pennies and bought an 89 hj61. Love it but having trouble wiring in cd player. Have wired in stereos in all my other vehicles but for some reason cant figure out speaker wires???
also the oem deck is 12v, anyone know what the factory converter(in dash above glove box) can handle, want to run deck,amp,subs, alarm, dvd.
thanx
